Which permission is required to expose a Salesforce object to Data Cloud?

• A. Read
• B. Create
• C. Edit
• D. Modify All

Answer: (A)

The key requirement is the ability to read data from the Salesforce object. Data Cloud needs to fetch records from Salesforce to ingest and synchronize them, so the integration user must have read access to the object. Read access lets the connector enumerate and retrieve records without permitting changes, which is exactly what exposure for data integration requires.

Creating, editing, or modifying all records would give write or admin-like privileges, which isn’t necessary for simply exposing data. Those permissions could also introduce unwanted risk by allowing data changes or broad access.

So the correct permission is Read because it enables the Data Cloud integration to access and pull the necessary data from Salesforce without granting write capabilities.
