Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for portal user data access in a multi-tenant on-demand database system. These mechanisms and methods for portal user data access in a multi-tenant on-demand database system can enable embodiments to provide portal-specific user accounts to the multi-tenant on-demand database system which have reduced configuration requirements than users directly accessing the multi-tenant on-demand database system. The ability of embodiments to provide portal-specific user accounts can reduce processing requirements of the database system.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for comparing results of performing a plurality of operations with results of simulating the plurality of operations. These mechanisms and methods for comparing results of performing a plurality of operations with results of simulating the plurality of operations can enable optimized performance of operations, reduced processing time, increased confidence in processing results, etc.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided techniques for processing group membership data in a multi-tenant database system. These techniques for processing group membership data in a multi-tenant database system may enable embodiments to provide great flexibility to a tenant of the architecture to select the content that may be perceived by the tenant users while allowing the owner of the architecture control over the content.
