FAQ-001576 - SOQL Security and User Mode Implementation / Security Validation and Demonstration

To demonstrate that user-mode queries provide adequate security protection in the AppExchange Security Review, you need to implement proper security enforcement. Modern Salesforce features like `WITH USER_MODE` in SOQL queries and `AccessLevel.USER_MODE` for Database methods automatically handle CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and FLS (Field-Level Security) permissions. Alternatively, you can use traditional approaches by explicitly checking permissions with methods like `Schema.DescribeFieldResult.isAccessible()` and `Schema.DescribeSObjectResult.isDeletable()`. Document these implementations and include them in your submission to support your case during the review.

The original answer focused solely on manual CRUD and FLS permission checks without mentioning modern Salesforce security features. According to the security approaches guidelines, FAQs should prioritize modern features like `WITH USER_MODE` and `AccessLevel.USER_MODE` while still acknowledging that traditional approaches remain valid. The updated answer leads with modern approaches and then mentions traditional methods as alternatives, following the guideline to 'prioritize modern features over legacy approaches.' This improves the FAQ by providing developers with the most current and efficient security implementation options. For the ApexCRUDViolation rule selection: This rule directly relates to the FAQ's core topic of demonstrating CRUD security protection. The FAQ discusses implementing CRUD permission checks to satisfy AppExchange security review requirements, and the ApexCRUDViolation rule specifically detects violations where CRUD permissions are not properly enforced in Apex code - exactly what this FAQ is teaching developers to avoid.
