A developer is migrating a Visualforce page into a Lightning web component. The Visualforce page shows information about a single record. The…

Lightning Data Service (LDS) is designed to simplify data access in Lightning components by automatically handling platform security features. It respects the running user's context, meaning it inherently enforces both record-level access granted by sharing rules and object-level permissions, as well as field-level security (FLS). When a component requests data via LDS, the service ensures that only the records and fields the user is permitted to see are returned, without requiring the developer to write explicit server-side or client-side checks.

1. Salesforce Lightning Web Components Developer Guide: In the "Work with Salesforce Data" section

under "Data Guidelines

" it states: "Use Lightning Data Service to load

create

edit

or delete a record without using Apex code. Lightning Data Service handles sharing rules and field-level security for you."

2. Salesforce Lightning Web Components Developer Guide: In the "Lightning Data Service" section

under "LDS and Security

" it explicitly states: "Lightning Data Service respects sharing rules and field-level security. If a user doesn’t have access to a record or field

it isn’t available to them."

3. Salesforce Platform Developer I Certification Study Guide (SU23): In the "User Interface" module

the section on "Lightning Data Service" explains that LDS provides access to data displayed on a page and automatically enforces FLS and sharing rules

which simplifies development by removing the need for Apex controllers for basic data operations.
