🚨IF YOU USE API Access Control: Salesforce change may stop DBAmp on Nov 4, 2025 🚨

TL&DR

Salesforce announced on Wednesday, Oct 15, 2025 that it’s deprecating the “Use Any API Client” permission within API Access Control. If your Salesforce org has API Access Control enabled, only allow-listed Connected Apps will be able to use the API going forward. This may stop DBAmp connections as early as Nov 4, 2025 unless you take action.

Who is Affected?

Organizations that:

• Use DBAmp to connect to Salesforce, and

• Have API Access Control enabled in Salesforce (this setting restricts API access to an allow-list of Connected Apps).

Not sure whether API Access Control is enabled? Ask your Salesforce admin or internal support to confirm.

Timeline

• Oct 15, 2025: Salesforce announces deprecation of “Use Any API Client.”

• Nov 4, 2025 (as early as): Impact may begin. If your org relies on “Use Any API Client,” DBAmp connections can fail without an approved Connected App in place.

What to do now (Action Items)

1. Confirm your org state

   • Ask your Salesforce admin: Is API Access Control enabled?

2. Tell us you’re impacted

   • Email [email protected] with:

     • Your org name(s) and whether each is Prod or Sandbox

     • Whether API Access Control is enabled

     • The critical DBAmp workloads at risk (backups, syncs, reporting, etc.)

     • Your preferred maintenance window(s) / timeline

3. Prepare for Connected App allow-listing

   • We’ll guide you through using an approved Connected App and share early-access builds as needed so your DBAmp jobs continue uninterrupted.

The DBAmp team will be sending brief reminders weekly through Nov 4. If you’re impacted, please reply today so we can prioritize you.
