I created a flow that has to access the profileId of Order.Owner:

enter image description here

But when the user runs the flow, the following error occurs: "An error occurred: The flow failed to access the value for GetOrderRecord.Owner:User.Profile.Id because the field is not available to the running user."

I saw that the user's profile can't access "Profile" SObject. I'm trying to give access to it, but there are no options like other objects (see the picture bellow). What could I do? enter image description here

  • Can you try adding "Manage User" permission on permission set

  • @cropredy I changed it to system context and it worked! But is there a solution to give access to the user's profile to "Profile" SObject?

Reset to default

Salesforce defaults the execution context based on the type of flow

  • User
  • System w/ sharing
  • System w/o sharing

User context enforces CRUD, FLS and sharing (i.e. record visibility). System context ignores FLS and CRUD and you can choose to include w/ or w/o sharing

You can change the default by using the Advanced setting for the Flow.

For your use case, it might be safer to switch the context to System rather than granting that user via a permission set Manage Users permission which would open up access to the Profile for a given OwnerId
