Recommended WDC Profiles

Create different profiles for different types of WDC users.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic

WDC is available for existing WDC customers in Professional Edition, Enterprise Edition, Performance Edition, Unlimited Edition, and Developer Edition.

Important
Important Starting in Spring ’22, WDC isn’t available to new Salesforce customers. For existing customers, WDC features and records from Badges, Skills, and Thanks aren’t affected and will remain available in the application beyond Spring ’22. WDC Goals, Coaching, Feedback, Performance, and Rewards features won’t appear in the application anymore, and records created previously will no longer be accessible.
Note
Note On May 1, 2020, we rebranded this suite. It's now called WDC.

Create a new profile for each type of WDC user.

Note
Note Professional Edition organizations will need to grant access through existing profiles. The WDC Only User, Chatter Only User, and Standard User profiles grant basic access to WDC objects. The System Administrator profile grants users full administrative access to all WDC features.

Use the tables below to assign the appropriate object settings and system permissions for each profile.
