Silly Admin Trick: How to Access Salesforce “Platform Integration User” Profile

While trying to disable a record type I got the following message:

This Record type Record_Type_Name Cannot be deactivated because of the following profiles use this record type as default.

Upon clicking the profile “Platform Integration User” I get the “Insufficient Privileges”, so sad.

Looking at the article linked below I put this URL together to access the profile record type page:

https://<Instance_Name>/setup/ui/profilerecordtypeedit.jsp?id=<Profile_Id>&tid=<Object_API_Name>

Where object name is WorkOrder or Opportunity or Customer_Object__c. Pretty straight forward and saved me a ton of time. Previous to this fixed I clicked in to the critical profiles and disabled the record type, too much clicking!

  1. Hello! I am trying to accomplish the same but I get this error:

    Unable to Access Page
    The value of the “tid” parameter contains a character that is not allowed or the value exceeds the maximum allowed length. Remove the character from the parameter value or reduce the value length and resubmit. If the error still persists, report it to our Customer Support team. Provide the URL of the page you were requesting as well as any other related information.

    I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong?

    1. Sorry I missed this, I’m sure you got it resolved by now. Let me know if not and again sorry it didn’t work for you.
