Stonecrest Veterinary Group's specialist is deploying a referral-booking agent that depends on a custom object, a Flow, and a permission set that grants the Agent User read access to that object. During deployment, the permission set fails to deploy due to a dependency ordering error, but the agent and Flow deploy successfully. What is the most likely consequence in production?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You can have the agent and Flow in production and still be missing the access the Agent User needs. Without the permission set’s read access to the custom object, the action that relies on its data may fail or behave incorrectly.
Full Explanation
The agent and Flow can deploy successfully while the permission set that grants the Agent User read access to the custom object fails, so the action that depends on that data may fail, return incomplete results, or behave incorrectly. The presence of the Flow does not make the action work normally: Flows are not permission-free, and they generally respect the running user’s object and field access unless configured otherwise. Nor will a deployment ordering error resolve itself just because the Flow runs; the missing permission set remains a dependency. Salesforce also does not automatically grant the Agent User System Administrator access as a fallback, which would create a serious security risk. The exam caveat is to distinguish successful deployment of an agent and Flow from successful deployment of every dependency they need; existing components do not imply that required permissions exist. As a practical check, verify in production that the Agent User has read access to the custom object before relying on the referral-booking action.
