UserInfo.getProfileID() Does Not Work Once I Change the ID

Question

My developer is off for the week and I need to change a wee bit of code. I do not know much Apex.

Current code to make Admin exempt

//System Admin is exempt, 00e80000000k3t2AAA id of System Admin Profile
    if(UserInfo.getProfileId() == '00e80000000k3t2AAA'){
        System.debug('Admin exempt from Invoice & Billing Period validation.');
        return true;
    }

All I want to do is just change the Admin ID to a custom profile ID so users can continue their work.

When I change the ID to

//System Admin is exempt, 00e80000000k3t2AAA id of System Admin Profile
    if(UserInfo.getProfileId() == '00e80000001SQTxAAA'){
        System.debug('Admin exempt from Invoice & Billing Period validation.');
        return true;
    }

It will not let the user under that profile be exempt.

I have tried id 00e80000001SQTxAAA and 00e80000001SQTx.

Any ideas of how to get the custom profile id to work?

Answer 1

You need to explicitly run a SOQL query to retrieve profile name and use that in the code as follows:

String profileName = [Select Id,Name from Profile where Id=:Userinfo.getProfileId()].Name;

if(profileName == 'System Administrator'){
    System.debug('Admin exempt from Invoice & Billing Period validation.');
    return true;
}

This will eliminate the Id dependency for different orgs.
