Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for determining user access to custom metadata. In some implementations, a server receives a request by or on behalf of a first user of a computing environment for a first custom metadata entity. A custom metadata entity may be a metadata component customized for use in the computing environment and having an entity type specifying a class or a category of the metadata component. The server may identify an association record indicating that the first user has permission to access the requested custom metadata entity. In some implementations, the association records are stored in an association database accessible by the server, wherein each association record identifies a user and a custom metadata entity. The server may also provide data including the requested custom metadata entity to a computing device.

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for trials onboarding. A server may receive a request to generate a trial instance of an organization providing data and functionality for a period of time. Data on the request may also be stored. The trial instance may be selected from a template based on an access channel corresponding to the request.

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for modifying permission sets and validating permission set assignments to users. In some implementations, a computing device receives a request to create a permission set containing one or more permissions and assign the permission set to a first user. The first user is associated with a first user constraint that defines a first group of permissions available to the first user. The computing device may determine that the permission set to be assigned to the first user does not violate the first user constraint, and may assign the permission set to the first user.

Disclosed are methods, devices, and computer readable storage media for providing permissions to users in an on-demand service environment. A server receives criteria indicating characteristics of users and/or permission sets. Selected permission sets can be assigned to identified users. Data indicating the assignment of the permission sets can also be stored.
