An administrator at Universal Containers is concerned about increased data corruption and wants to maintain...

Manufacturing Cloud provides a specific system permission that controls users' ability to perform mass updates on Sales Agreement terms. Salesforce recommends controlling this capability because bulk modifications increase the potential impact of user mistakes and can compromise Sales Agreement data integrity.

The correct administrative pattern is to clone the Manufacturing Sales Agreements permission set, modify the cloned permission set by disabling the Mass Update for Sales Agreements system permission, and assign that controlled version to the applicable users. Salesforce explicitly documents cloning the standard permission set as the method for controlling access to Sales Agreement mass updates.

Giving users View All or Modify All would do the opposite of the requirement by increasing their access. Editing the Salesforce-provided standard permission set directly is also inappropriate because standard permission sets should be treated as Salesforce-managed configuration; cloning provides an organization-controlled configuration that can be maintained independently.

This approach applies the principle of least privilege while preserving users' normal ability to work with Sales Agreements.
