Salesforce Certified Identity and Access Management Designer — Question 20

Universal Containers (UC) is building a custom Innovation platform on their Salesforce instance. The Innovation platform will be written completely in Apex and Visualforce and will use custom objects to store the data. UC would like all users to be able to access the system without having to log in with Salesforce credentials. UC will utilize a third-party IdP using SAML SSO.
What is the recommended Salesforce license type for all of the UC employees?

Answer options

• A. Salesforce Platform license
• B. External Identity license
• C. Identity license
• D. Salesforce license

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Salesforce Platform license is suitable for users who need access to custom applications and does not require full CRM capabilities, which aligns with UC's need for their Innovation platform. The External Identity license is designed for external users accessing Salesforce, which is not the case here, and the Identity license is focused on providing identity services rather than application access. The Salesforce license offers full CRM features, which exceeds what is necessary for the users in this scenario.
