If you’ve ever tried setting up field-level security in Salesforce, you know it can be a time-consuming mess.
Whether you’re an admin, developer, or architect, clicking through profiles and permission sets just to give someone read or edit access can feel like trying to solve a puzzle that never ends.
“Adjusting permissions specifically for field-level security can sometimes be a pain.” – Matthew Gardner, Senior Consultant at SOLVD
At SOLVD, we understand how much time this eats up—and how risky it can be when something slips through the cracks. That’s why we’re sharing one of our favorite time-saving tools: JetStream.
It’s not our product. It’s just something we use all the time because it works.
JetStream is a tool built specifically to make Salesforce permission management easier. It lets you set field and object permissions across multiple profiles or permission sets—at the same time.
You can use it in two ways:
“I feel very confident this can help improve your quality of life as you’re working in Salesforce.” – Matthew Gardner, Senior Consultant at SOLVD
Once you’re inside JetStream, you can do things that would normally take hours in Salesforce setup menus.
1. Update Object Permissions in Bulk
You can compare permissions across roles like System Admin, Standard User, or Partner User. Then make changes all at once—row by row, column by column, or select all.
For example:
2. Edit Field-Level Security Fast
Instead of clicking into every single field, JetStream gives you a table view. You can:
“It makes it incredibly simple to update these object permissions in bulk.” – Matthew Gardner, Senior Consultant at SOLVD
You can even track all your changes before saving. If something goes wrong, it won’t wipe out your work—it just flags the issue and saves the rest.
One great thing about JetStream is how it handles errors. Let’s say you try to update a field you don’t have access to. JetStream will let you know and still save everything else.
“It tells me right here I can’t edit that field, but I like that it saved all of my other fields.” – Matthew Gardner, Senior Consultant at SOLVD
That’s peace of mind you don’t get when clicking through Salesforce’s UI the old way.
If you’re tired of wasting time setting permissions in Salesforce, JetStream is a game-changer. It gives you a clean, simple way to manage object and field permissions—without all the clicking and confusion.
And if you need help setting it up, or want to automate even more of your Salesforce work, we’re here to help.
💬 Let’s talk. We’ll show you how to save time and avoid permission mistakes in Salesforce.
From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!
SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.
As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
