Comparing Privilege Sets: Built-in vs. Custom
BeginnerA practical comparison of built-in privilege sets and when a custom set is the right choice.
What you'll learn
- What [Full Access], [Data Entry Only], and [Read-Only Access] actually allow
- Scenarios where each built-in set is appropriate
- When a custom privilege set is necessary
- The minimum viable custom privilege set
New developers often default to one of the three built-in privilege sets for convenience. Understanding what each actually allows -- and where they fall short -- helps you decide when to invest in a custom set.

[Full Access] -- developer only
[Full Access] allows everything: editing the schema, managing accounts, exporting data, running any script, modifying layouts. It is appropriate for developers and, with care, for a dedicated admin account. It should never be assigned to end users, service accounts for automated integrations, or anyone who should not be able to modify the solution.
