The three foundational configuration records are Business Type, Regulatory Authorization Type, and Regulatory Authority . Salesforce's regulatory authorization model defines Regulatory Authority as the government agency or department responsible for issuing and enforcing licenses and permits. Regulatory Authorization Type represents the specific license or permit, while Business Type identifies the category of business and activities that require regulatory authorization.
After these components exist, Public Sector uses the Business Regulatory Authorization Type junction object to map a Business Type to the applicable Regulatory Authorization Type. This establishes which licenses or permits are required for a given business activity.
A Business Profile is used to capture information about the applicant's business or individual during application processing, but it is not one of the three foundational authorization-definition records asked for here. Inspection Type belongs to inspection configuration and therefore is not necessary simply to define the license authorization.
Salesforce's configuration sequence explicitly includes creation of Regulatory Authorities, Regulatory Authorization Types, and Business Types as core elements of regulatory authorization setup.
