Salesforce Admin Certification Preparation - Security Model - Focus Topics - Trailblazers' Story

[@12boom-yj4bb]

Hi ! Just passed my admin certification exam on 1st attempt. I watched your whole playlist and gone through some notes online just within 1 week. It helped me a lot. Thank you very much!!!

[@ShivaniSingh-us5iw]

hi can you share your notes with me..please?

[@aamersaeed1529]

watching only these videos will be enough to pass?

[@nishantforce]

Thank You very much for the appreciation and feedback. Wishing you lots of success ahead.

[@kayla.matthews6659]

hi there is this still valid ? for 2025 exam and also please share notes with me

[@nishantforce]

Yes the concepts are valid but if there are some new features introduced you must consider them along with this content. For eg. Restrictions Rules are new item for sharing. Changes on flow builder and additional capabilities. etc.

[@jasonvanboesschoten6680]

I took a 7 week edureka course that was a very broad scope of Salesforce, then I went through the trailhead to get more detail and it made more sense as I had a good broad base info. After completing the trailhead I took the practice exam and then saw where I needed some more work and went into finding more info in those areas. Now I'm scoring in the 60s so I'm now taking the exam in 5 days. After that I will take the breakdown to study areas I need more work in and then take it again 2 weeks later.

[@nishantforce]

I wish you all the very best and with great foundational knowledge you can get through in first attempt. You can use our admin certification prepration playlist for quick revision and brush up your knowledge.

[@lovejones1897]

Did you pass?

[@jasonvanboesschoten6680]

@lovejones1897 yes, I did David Massey course as well. I know work for an Analytics company and a Non-profit.

[@lovejones1897]

@@jasonvanboesschoten6680 ohh shoot I already did and was watching some of his course and forgot his name. I’m going to learn focus on force first. Did you take the course and write things and you watched or watched the whole course first then went back jot notes

[@jasonvanboesschoten6680]

​@lovejones1897 I did note cards, supper badges, video courses, and finally, I made up a company and built out an entire org with automation and everything. It took me about 2 years of self learning while I worked a 50 hr a week job. In the end it paid off. I still work 50hr a week but a little over double what I was making. I'm learning more and working towards a project lead position.

[@lluwellynnuwegeld6596]

Your explanation are very good. Although a bit high level for someone only starting out!. Have done several trails but did know but couldnt crasp some of it. BUT after finding your videos it somehow help me to understand same of terminology and how does each object , permission sets trigger work together.

[@nishantforce]

Thank you for the appreciation and feedback. 💙 Yes you are correct our sessions are more focused on second level training and to clarify various doubts and explain key topics important from exam perspective. We anticipate the audience has done some hands-on training with trailhead and knows the basics.

[@harishiyyar3291]

[@Mel-l6c]

Hello! Thanks for the useful information regarding the explanations to the practice questions. Can you please advise if the blogs are still relevant for 2024 exams? Thank you!

[@nishantforce]

Yes, absolutely. All the blogs and information is relevant. But you must learn about all the new items introduced after this sessions. e.g. restriction rules, Flow Builder enhancements.

[@shaktisingh8213]

This is a great content Nishant.. keep going.👍

[@nishantforce]

Thank You very much Shakti for appreciation.

[@smartboy-ll6kd]

@@nishantforce thanks for your efforts. For revision purpose where i will get this pdf or PPT? Please reply thank you Sir

[@AnkitBansal-zz6kf]

@letterkenny OWD is Org wide default and not Object wide Default. Also, the security pyramid is wrong. OWD comes on top with most restricted settings.

[@nishantforce]

Thank You for the feedback Ankit. What we are trying to explain in video is that every object have it's own OWD and never said that OWD is Object Wide Default. Yes the full form of OWD is "Org Wide Default" but this setting is uniquely available for each object and can be configured independently unless they are in a Master Detail relationship and OWD is driven by the parent object. Coming to the second point the highest control is driven from Profiles because if you have OWD as "Public Read/Write" but on profile CRED you only have Read then the user will be able to only read the records. So its always that you need both of then together to make it work. Also OWD can be overridden using the "View All" or "Modify All" checkbox on the profile. That's why the highest level of control is driven from Profile/Permission Set.

[@michaelforbes4069]

Such a good learning session!

[@nishantforce]

Thank you Michael for liking it. Please share the knowledge and these sessions with others and help the Trailblazer community. When we teach we grow more.

[@NicolasMontchery]

This is really helpful. Thank you. Do you know if process builder and workflow rules are still part of the admin certification exam?

[@nishantforce]

Thank you very much for the feedback. As Salesforce is recommending use of only flows for the process automation. There shouldn't be any direct question about capabilities of process builder and workflow rules but it's always good to know about them and what they can or cannot do. But when given a choice and it have process builder vs flow then you have an easy pick i.e. flow.

[@Dancing-Consultant]

Informative session.Pleae create videos on the following :- 1.Marketing Cloud,SFMC 2.Salesforce CPQ,Advanced approvals

[@nishantforce]

Thank You for your feedback. We will surely plan a session on these topics.

[@raosreenivas3766]

Thank you, it's really helpful. i want to know Details about webinar, which they are talking about. if anyone send me message will be great

[@bonvoyageurgurl]

Hey @Letterkenny, can I see your videos if I plan to take Salesforce admin exam in September/October 2022? Will the course and topics be applicable?

[@nishantforce]

Hi Mugdha! Thank you for checking out the videos. The core concepts explained in all the videos will remain applicable always as that is the base. There could be definitely some additional new topics introduced which you need to add up in your study, e.g. restriction rules is something newly introduced in security model which we haven't covered in the existing video. The recent videos we did also have up to date syllabus and topics covered which are applicable for Sept/Oct 2022. I would recommend studying modules on Trailhead along with the videos to give you hands-on practice along with the concepts.

[@bonvoyageurgurl]

Okay thanks!!

[@ksr230386]

Campaign members or campaign ?? I think it should be campaign members for data import wizard

[@nishantforce]

Yes you are correct we can insert/update campaign members using import wizard. If we mention campaign it must be a mistake. We will work too add a caption or fix the video.

[@manpreetkaursaini5104]

Hi nishant m also new , m starting with your videos , ur content and explanation is really good but audio is not up to mark . I in Canada , is it good for me to start from ur videos

[@nishantforce]

Thank you for the feedback. I know the earlier videos the microphone was not so good but you will be able to see a significant improvement in new videos. I would recommend you to also start learning from trailhead and then refer to videos as you progress towards a particular topic to clarify the concept and get better understanding. Check this blog with all trailhead modules: bit.ly/sfadminblog Keep learning and blazing the trails 🏁

Hi Nishant .. I am about to start learning sales force and I have this Vedio as first one to appear but you have mentioned this is 10th session.. could you or anyone please help me sending link for the previous sessions to start from first . Thank you

[@nishantforce]

Hello, this is 10th session presented in our trailblazer community group but when studying for Salesforce Admin Certification this is the first video. When starting from scratch the videos will be little difficult to relate and understand so I would recommend you first do some module on trailhead to get the hands-on. Follow this blog and it will guide you further. bit.ly/sfadminblog

[@RS-xc6ir]

Is it mandatory to have certification ? Can we not get a job based on trailhead preparation ? Can we complete certification after we ger the job, as we will be having practical exposure to the scenarios ?

[@nishantforce]

It is not mandatory to have certification but to showcase that you have acquired a knowledge we can do these certifications and that validates our knowledge on that specific area. If you feel like administration certification is a big thing to attempt for freshers there is also an option to go for the Salesforce Associate exam and I would highly recommend doing that to get an extra advantage on your profile while searching for jobs.

[@sakshipednekar9180]

hey how can i find the videos of the previous sessions?

[@nishantforce]

[@keithlewis6385]

The information provided in these videos still valid for today's exam?

[@nishantforce]

Yes most of them. I would say 90% are still relevant as they are platform basics/foundational which will not change. Some things are obsolete like Workflow rules process builder are no longer a choice of automation tools, but it's always good to know what we're they.

[@raosreenivas3766]

Thank you, it's really helpful. i want to know Details about webinar, which they are talking about. if anyone send me message will be great.

[@nishantforce]

Thank you for the appreciation and love 💙 This was the first session and all the webinars which happened after this one were recorded and present in this playlist bit.ly/adminvideos We will do another webinar on Service and Sales Cloud for Admin Certification in upcoming months, join our group and you will be notified when the registration opens at bit.ly/lksfdevs

[@AvnishTiwariavnish]

What I have to import data for more than 50k records, and also avoid duplicates?

[@nishantforce]

Ideally such a scenario you might not expect in Admin Certification exam but from a solution perspective we can leverage two things in conjunction to handle this. Firstly, use data loader to import data >50K and secondly, enable "Duplicate Management" to block or report on creation of duplicates. Please let me know if that clarifies or you need additional information.

[@stellakim726]

Hi Letterkenny, do you have more sessions coming up in KZbin? or are these 2 sessions sufficient for preparing the certification exam?

[@nishantforce]

Hi, Stella! Thank you for the feedback. These two sessions doesn't cover the complete admin certification content. It covers two major items from the exam. We will definitely plan some more sessions in future but as of now nothing is planned. You can prepare further using admin trailmix on trailhead. trailhead.salesforce.com/en/users/strailhead/trailmixes/prepare-for-your-salesforce-administrator-credential
