[SalesForce] Salesforce query on profile not working on user language change

There is another way to get around this without creating new fields.

In a recent implementation we had to refer to profiles and record types dynamically from Apex code. rather than call them directly from Apex code, we created custom settings for each line entry, and use the record ID.

For example your sys admin profile might be called "System Administrator" and have an ID of "1234ABCD". Then follow these steps:

• Create a customer setting called "Config Settings" and make it of type list, and give it an object an of "Config_Settings__c"
• Click on" manage" your new "Config Settings" and click on new
• Create a config setting (give it a unique name like "sysAdminRecordID" and give it a text value that is the same as your actual Sys Admin profile ID
• Now you can access the record from your Apex code

This way you avoid issues with translation, and you abstract accessing a record using it's name. Of course you have to treat this as an environment variable, from one sandbox to another. However the likelihood is that a profile is setup once and not changed again.

You should be checking individual permissions, not the profile name. A user is a system administrator if they have Modify All Data and Customize Application. You may also want to consider permission sets. A user therefore is an administrator if they have these permissions from any assigned permission set. Try the following:

Boolean isUserAdmin = 0 < [
  SELECT  COUNT()
  FROM    PermissionSetAssignment
  WHERE   AssigneeId = :UserInfo.getUserId() AND
          PermissionSetId IN (
            SELECT  Id 
            FROM    PermissionSet 
            WHERE   PermissionsModifyAllData = TRUE AND
                    PermissionsCustomizeApplication = TRUE
            )];
