How Do I See Which Salesforce User Authorized Ambition?

Last updated: November 13, 2026

Every Salesforce record Ambition reads comes through the account of whoever authorized the integration, so Ambition can only see what that account can see. If that person leaves your organization or loses the appropriate permissions data will stop flowing into Ambition.

Being able to view the authorizing user helps to identify why the Salesforce connection may have become unsynced.

Required permissions:

  • The Integrations: Edit permission is required to view the Salesforce connection details.

Find the Authorizing User

  1. Head to Admin --> Data --> Integrations.

  2. Open the Enabled tab and click on the Salesforce integration.

  3. In the side menu, click on Data Configuration.

  4. Click on the Connector tab.

  5. Select Authentication from the list of options on the left.

  6. Click on the Authenticated User tab. The user's Name, Username, Email, User ID, and Profile will appear under REST API.

Switch to a Different Salesforce User

  1. In the Salesforce integration's side menu, click on Authorize / Install.

  2. Click on Revoke Access.

  3. Click on Authorize and log in to Salesforce as the new user.

  4. Click on Allow.

Note:

  • Ambition can't reach Salesforce between revoking and authorizing, so complete both steps back to back. Use a headless Salesforce user with Ambition's permission set so the connection doesn't depend on one employee.
