Next release: 0.9.0

Admin Toolkit for Salesforce

Admin Toolkit for Salesforce is an independent Chrome suite compatible with Salesforce. It uses the Salesforce sessions you are already signed in with for metadata administration and read-only org comparison, spreadsheet data work, permission analysis, object schema exploration, API tools, Apex execution, exports, and monitoring without a developer-operated metadata service.

This extension is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Salesforce.

Install from Chrome Web Store User Manual

One Toolkit, Focused Workspaces

The popup Apps tab is the main entry point for the toolkit's Salesforce workspaces.

Metadata Admin for Salesforce

Browse a compact source-style metadata tree, search the loaded workspace, edit files locally, track changes, build package.xml selections, and compare metadata across signed-in Salesforce orgs.

SheetD

Browse Salesforce objects and reports in a multi-tab spreadsheet grid, inspect file details, and review exact changed fields before confirmed record updates.

Org Review

Run a read-only assessment with evidence, scorecards, security review, remediation guidance, and PDF, Markdown, summary JSON, or evidence JSON exports.

Object Schema

Explore parent and child relationships in an interactive map with packaged-namespace scope, search, zoom, layout controls, relationship details, and a spreadsheet Fields view with filters, search highlights, CSV export, and full screen.

Permission Explorer

Explain why a user can access an object or field, identify overlapping grants, and trace each permission to the profile, permission set, or permission set group that grants it.

Administrator and Developer Tools

  • Search Salesforce metadata by label, name, API name, object, developer name, and matching snippets.
  • Compare metadata from two signed-in Salesforce orgs, filter differing files, and inspect actual source changes side by side.
  • Open supported metadata records directly in Salesforce Setup.
  • Send user-initiated Salesforce REST API requests and inspect JSON responses.
  • Execute anonymous Apex and review compile, execution, and debug output.
  • Export SOQL, SOSL, GraphQL, and report results as available CSV or JSON output.
  • Browse Salesforce document folders, preview supported files, and download selected folders and files as ZIP.
  • Trace object and field permissions to the profiles, permission sets, and permission set groups that grant them.
  • Inspect setup audit trail, API limits, login history, event log files, org summaries, and user summaries.
  • Use the built-in English and Japanese manual for end-user guidance.

How It Works

  • The extension runs in Chrome and uses the active Salesforce session.
  • Salesforce user and organization identity fields are used to identify the active session and org.
  • Browser API requests containing Salesforce data, identity data, authentication information, and user-entered requests are sent only to the selected Salesforce org, not to developer-operated servers.
  • Org comparison reads the current workspace and the selected comparison org over that org's existing signed-in Salesforce session. Its Pull and Deploy actions are read-only previews in this release.
  • Workspace preferences, search data, pending edits, recent/favorite tools, sanitized operation history, and bounded SheetD update receipts may be stored locally in Chrome browser storage on the user's device. SheetD workbooks are not persisted.
  • Operation history is limited to the most recent 100 entries and excludes session tokens and authorization headers. Feature-specific saved data can be cleared where the extension offers that control, and removing the extension clears its Chrome-managed local storage.
  • The extension does not include analytics, telemetry, advertising, affiliate links, or remotely hosted JavaScript or WebAssembly.
  • Extension JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and third-party spreadsheet code are packaged with the extension. Salesforce responses are treated as data and are not executed as code.

Permissions

  • cookies: reads Salesforce session cookies so the toolkit can connect to the org where the user is already signed in.
  • sidePanel: opens the toolkit in Chrome's side panel.
  • storage: saves local workspace preferences, data, UI settings, and pending edits.
  • Salesforce host access: permits requests to Salesforce org, Setup, Experience Cloud, Visualforce, and Salesforce Sites domains used by the active org.

Next Release

Version 0.9.0 is a validated release candidate awaiting Chrome Web Store upload. It streamlines Metadata Admin with a flattened source tree, compact rows, breadcrumb navigation, visible row actions, and a docked resizable file-details panel. The new Compare with control finds metadata drift between Salesforce orgs already signed in to this browser, filters files by Different, Only here, or Only in the compared org, and opens actual source changes side by side. Pull Selected Preview and Deploy Selected Preview are read-only in this release. No Chrome permission or browser host permission was added.
