  1. Build out your app with the basic components used in apps.
    • Create objects, which are custom database tables that allow you to store information specific to your app.
    • Create tabs that are associated with the objects you've created.
    • For each object, create fields to store the information that's important to your org.
    • Create validation rules, which verify that the data users enter meets the standards you specify before they save a record.
    For quick shortcuts to these tools, use the Lightning Platform quick access menu, which is available from object list view pages and record detail pages.
  2. Create user profiles or permission sets. These are collections of settings and permissions that determine what users can do in an app.
  3. Specify the types of access that users will have to the app.
    1. Make your app visible using profiles or permission sets.
    2. Make your object tabs visible.
    3. Set the object permissions for the objects you created.
  4. Add users to your org. When adding users, be sure to assign them the appropriate profiles or permission sets you created so they can access your app.
