Salesforce Administration Services
Ongoing Salesforce admin capacity for user management, reports, small changes and release readiness, without hiring a full-time admin.
Every Salesforce org needs steady administration: new users, permission changes, report requests, small fixes and three Salesforce releases a year. When that work has no owner, it piles up. GeekMidst provides ongoing Salesforce administration remotely from India, as planned capacity each month.
This differs from our other ongoing services. Managed support covers incidents and service levels, and an org health check is a one-off review. Administration is the day-to-day work in between.
What's included
| Area | Typical work |
|---|---|
| User management | Joiners, movers and leavers, licences, permission sets and login issues |
| Security housekeeping | MFA support, permission reviews and inactive user checks |
| Reports and dashboards | New reports, dashboard updates and folder clean-up |
| Small changes | Fields, page layouts, list views, validation rules and simple flows |
| Data upkeep | Imports, duplicate checks and data quality fixes |
| Release readiness | Preview sandbox checks, release updates and a short note for your users |
How we work
- 01
Discovery
We review your org, backlog, users and the people who request changes.
- 02
Design
We agree monthly capacity, a single request route and what needs your approval.
- 03
Build
We make changes in a sandbox first, apart from simple user changes.
- 04
Test
Requesters check each change before it goes to production.
- 05
Launch
We deploy on an agreed schedule and log every change.
- 06
Support
We report monthly on work done, open items and upcoming Salesforce changes.
Release readiness in practice
Take Winter '27. Sandbox preview began on 28 August 2026, and production upgrades ran on 4 September, 2 October and 9 October 2026 depending on instance, so check trust.salesforce.com for yours. Items an admin would review include:
- User Field History Tracking: up to 20 User fields, with data kept 18 months (GA).
- Flexible inline editing in list views, off by default (status not stated).
- Record previews from Lightning reports (Beta).
- Profile Filtering, a release update enforced in Winter '27: users without "View All Profiles" see only their own profile name.
Upcoming dates need a plan too, such as the Maintain Email Verification Exception release update enforced on 1 December 2026 and the View Setup Audit Trail permission enforced in Spring '27. See Winter '27 for admins and developers and the release readiness checklist.
Prerequisites and licences
We need a named contact on your side, suitable admin access for our team under your security policies, and at least one sandbox. Some features depend on your edition or add-ons, and we flag these before starting.
Who it suits
Organisations with a part-time or departing admin, growing teams with a backlog, and in-house admins who need cover or extra hands.
Common mistakes
- Making changes directly in production.
- Granting broad profiles instead of permission sets.
- No record of who changed what, and why.
- Ignoring release updates until they are enforced.
- Letting report and dashboard folders grow until nobody trusts the numbers.
