PeopleGlass-Salesforce Permissions FAQ

For more information about People.ai field permissions in Salesforce, click here.

Currently, PeopleGlass only works for Salesforce users with API access. If you do not have a Salesforce account with API access, you cannot use PeopleGlass.

​

PeopleGlass attempts to keep the number of API calls to an absolute minimum. To fetch only the most relevant data, calls are only made when you use the app.
We have not experienced an issue with users hitting their organizational API limits.

​

PeopleGlass inherits SFDC permissions. PeopleGlass reads information from the default page layout and cannot read from any custom page layouts.

We cannot override Salesforce permissions within PeopleGlass. For example, you cannot restrict access to certain records within PeopleGlass from users if they have access to them in Salesforce.

​

We do not store copies of user data. All data lives on their Salesforce instance, not on our servers. We track their metadata (e.g., field names) for analytics and support.
​

For example, we store each user's field names for each sheet (e.g., Next Steps), but we don't store the corresponding data ("8/25 - Call with John...").

The only user updates we track are field-level changes, not data-level changes. For example, we track that a user updated Next Steps on 8/15 at 8:30 AM, but we do not know what those changes are.

​

Please get in touch with your organization's IT admin and ask them about the security protocols.

While they might not have blocked PeopleGlass specifically, our app might not have met their security standards, which is why it was blocked. We will happily address any security concerns and provide additional documentation if needed.

If you are stuck on the loading page, please check the site URL to identify the error—if your admin has blocked PeopleGlass, it should be indicated in the URL.
