OEM User License Comparison

Introduction

The following tables compare object access, user permissions and features, and organization limits for these license types.
  • OEM Embedded—A full Force.com license with contractual restrictions. It prohibits Create, Read, Update, and Delete on Leads, Opportunities, Products, Cases, Solutions, Campaigns, and Contracts.
  • ISV Portal—An Authenticated Website license with basic data sharing options (manual sharing to user and participation in sharing groups is not permitted). Users can only log in via Force.com Sites. This is best used when projected user volumes will exceed 100,000.
  • ISV Portal with Sharing—A Customer Portal Manage Custom license with full sharing capabilities. User can only log in via Force.com Sites. This is best used when projected user volumes are under 100,000 and granular security access is required.
  • Customer Community—The Customer Community license is similar to a High Volume Customer Portal license and is well-suited for business-to-consumer communities with large numbers of external users.
  • Partner Community—The Partner Community license is similar to a Gold Partner license and is well-suited for business-to-business communities, such as a partner community.

End users can’t develop applications or extend applications by creating additional custom objects, but they can have access to additional applications as long as those applications are sold with an embedded or ISVforce license. 

Portal licenses can’t be used to access any other application or functionality except for that of the application with which it was sold.

The following symbols are used in the tables:
  • Check indicates included—Included in license
  • $—Available as an add-on for an additional fee
  • C—Create access to the object
  • R—Read access to the object
  • U—Update access to the object
  • D—Delete access to the object

* With the Orders Platform permission set license (PSL), available to OEM partners only, administrators can give users with Force.com user licenses access to Contracts, Products, Price Books, and Orders. Orders functionality is automatically available to all licenses except the Force.com licenses, which explicitly require the new PSL to grant access.

Storage Limits

Additional Organization Limits (Added Per User) OEM Embedded ISV Portal ISV Portal with Sharing Customer Community Partner Community
Data Storage 20 MB 0 2 MB 0 5 MB
File Storage 2 GB 0 0 0 0

For data storage, each OEM Embedded organization is allocated either 1 GB or a per-user limit, whichever is greater. For example, an OEM Embedded organization with 20 users receives 1 GB because 20 users multiplied by 20 MB per user is 400 MB, which is less than the 1 GB minimum. An OEM Embedded organization with 100 users receives more than the 1 GB minimum because 100 users multiplied by 20 MB per user is 2 GB.

For file storage, each OEM Embedded organization is allocated a per-user limit multiplied by the number of users in the organization plus an additional per-organization allocation of 11 GB. For example, an OEM Embedded organization with 600 users receives 1,211 GB of file storage, or 2 GB per user multiplied by 600 users plus an additional 11 GB.

Salesforce Edition Data Storage Minimum per Organization File Storage Minimum per Organization Storage Allocation Per User License
OEM Embedded 1 GB, plus 5 MB for each Gold Partner license 11 GB 20 MB of data storage and 2 GB of file storage

API Limits

The following table lists the limits for the total API requests (calls) per 24-hour period for an OEM Embedded organization.

Salesforce Edition API Calls Per License Type Minimum Maximum
OEM Embedded 1000 5,000 1,000,000

Limits are enforced against the aggregate of all API calls made by the organization in a 24 hour period; limits are not on a per-user basis. When an organization exceeds a limit, all users in the organization may be temporarily blocked from making additional calls. Calls will be blocked until usage for the preceding 24 hours drops below the limit.
