Test data actions and user access
Use known test records and representative users to verify the app before sharing it.
Prepare the checks
Create a record that can safely be changed and record its initial values. Identify at least one allowed user and one user who should be denied the action.
Test a write action
Open the intended record in Preview.
Enter a recognizable test value.
Run the action once.
Confirm the UI shows success or an actionable error.
Inspect the source record to confirm exactly what changed.
Check an unrelated record remains unchanged.
If the response is unclear, inspect the source before retrying. A missing success message does not prove the write failed.
Test access
Use user preview to inspect pages and records. Then sign in with representative test accounts and verify access to the same data and actions.
Staff updates an allowed ticket
Only permitted fields on the selected record change.
A restricted user tries the same action
The operation is denied.
Customer A requests Customer B's record
The record is not exposed.
Invalid input is submitted
No unintended record is created or changed.
For workflows, test the full run, including rejection or failure paths. Use App and data permissions for rule configuration.
