we have an android app which is connected with Salesforce. From the Android app, we will pass the username and password to the salesforce to get oAuth token. I have created one checkbox field i.e. hasAccesstoAndroidApp__c on the user object. I need to get OAuth token from salesforce for a user who has hasAccesstoAndroidApp__c field value is true. For other users who have false value on the hasAccesstoAndroidApp__c field then need to pass the error message.

How we can implement this requirement.

Thanks,

  • Hi, Anup. Could you please edit your question and explain why you need this functionality? As it stands, this feels like an X-Y problem. I don't think this is a viable solution for whatever it is you're trying to do. – sfdcfox Dec 21 '18 at 16:17

    You can only read user details after you have logged in. The solution suggested by blank seems the most appropriate use case. Also you can write a trigger on User Object, when the picklist value is populated you assign the permission set to the user and remove it when picklist value changes, – Pranay Jaiswal Dec 23 '18 at 10:55

It looks like you're trying to replicate the standard Salesforce functionality. Take a look at this article: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000230821&type=1

In a few words, you can give access to a connected app via permission set to specific users. From the question description, it looks like this is what you actually need.

Also, you can write a trigger on User Object, when the picklist value is populated you assign the permission set to the user and remove it when picklist value changes Thanks @(Pranay Jaiswal) for this option.

If I'm right please edit the question, to help others find the answer easily

  • Thanks, It worked for me. I have one more question. if user don't have permission to log in through the connected app. then it will give us standard error message. can we customize the error message? – Anup Kage Dec 28 '18 at 13:20
  • @AnupKage No, unfortunately you can't. But you can handle this error in the mobile app itself and display whatever message you prefer – nchursin Dec 28 '18 at 16:08
