The Salesforce Security Superbadge – Requirements & User Stories
Have you started to learn about Salesforce, made your way through Trailhead and now look at this Superbadge?
Have you just managed all the other Superbadges which are now required before you tackle this one?
But do not quite know where and how to start?
Following Jeffrey Alhadeff YouTube Video about the Superbadge, I have drawn out UserStories and talk about some of the challenges! Sorry, you won’t find solutions here though!
What the Salesforce Security Superbadge is about
According to Trailhead, GenZ Capital security has to meet the OldGuard requirements and you as the Salesforce Admin are the go-to person!
Here is the Organisational Chart for GenZ:
Pay attention to the Organisational Chart, it is important for the setup of the GenZ Capital Users.

The Challenge as table:

GenZ Capital User Stories
I have started the habit of writing User Stories for the Superbadges and in general, for the Dev Orgs, I am creating. It helps to get into the right mindset and keep track of the tasks and keep an eye on the Acceptance criteria, especially if you set up your own Salesforce Dev Org. I will write more about User Stories [later here]
