I have a validation rule that prevents re-opening case after a certain period has passed. But we'd like a Connection User from a partner org to be exempt from this rule. The problem is, how can refer to the Connection User or the partner org in my validation rule? The Connection User isn't a real user per se, has no role, nor profile.

Are my only options to mark these cases with a trigger on insert time and use that to refer whether this is an external or internal case?

  • Thanks for that. Hadn't stumbled into that solution before. Bit perplexing that this is an idea, yet contains a workaround. Some of the stuff in that post is already implemented, like the status page on the Partner connection.

If you use Roles in your org, try excluding users that don't have a role ($UserRole.Name <> "" ). This seems to work for us (for now, at least).
