Guest User Security Policies update
Salesforce is about to release certain security enhancements for the guest user profiles, which is bound to impact the business of the organisations. The enforcement of the public site security policies affects all customer organizations within Salesforce public sites built on Lightning Platform, Site.com, Force.com, or Communities.
The new security update potentially impacts the guest users in the following ways:
- Guest users may lose access to data.
- Guest users can no longer update or delete records.
- Guest users can no longer complete forms using Flows.
- Guest users may lose visibility to other users of the public site.
- Guest users can no longer upload files.

Data and data integrity are the most vital components of any IT system and these measures amplify data security.
Each guest user has a unique profile (public access settings). Though the guest users on the site can not directly log into the Salesforce instance, they can access data and create records, under their account. We can help you assign these records to a specific Salesforce system user by default. It is advisable to have more than one default owner. All the default settings associated with the business user should be reviewed and customized to make your system compliant to the proposed Salesforce security release.
