Summer21 Enforced Release Updates -
- Disable Access to Non-global Apex Controller Methods in Managed Packages (Update, Enforced)-This update corrects access controls on Apex controller methods in managed packages. When this update is enabled, only methods marked with the global access modifier are accessible by Aura components from outside the package namespace. These access controls prevent you from using unsupported API methods that the package author didn’t intend for global access.
- Enforce Access Modifiers on Apex Properties in Lightning Component Markup (Update, Enforced)-This update makes Lightning components consistent with the use of Apex properties in other contexts. For example, a markup expression can no longer access an Apex property with a private Apex getter. This release update doesn’t affect usage of Apex setters.
- Convert the Read Only Standard Profile to a Custom Profile (Update, Enforced)-This update converts the Read Only standard profile to a custom profile, which allows you to edit permissions in this profile as your business needs require. This update was first available in Spring ’21 and is enforced in Summer ’21.
- Require Verification When Experience Cloud Users, Partners, and Customers Change Their Email Address (Update, Enforced) - To protect user accounts against security threats, Salesforce now requires Experience Cloud users, partners, and customers to verify their email address changes. This update, first available in Winter ’21, was scheduled for auto-enforcement in Spring ’21, but was postponed to and is enforced in Summer ’21.
