Salesforce Certified Identity and Access Management Practice

The custom_permissions scope parameter is specifically designed to provide access to the custom permissions defined within an organization associated with a connected app. By using this parameter, developers can ensure that their applications can check for and utilize any custom permissions that have been set up, allowing for finer control over what a user can do within the application based on these permissions. This is particularly useful in scenarios where you have tailored permissions that extend beyond standard ones, making it essential for applications that aim to respect and implement custom security criteria within their workflows.

The other options relate to various features of Salesforce but do not accurately describe the functionality of the custom_permissions scope. Access to security logs, user preferences, and user profile customization pertains to broader areas of user and system management, while custom permissions specifically denote a predefined set of permissions customized by an organization.
