Enabling Setting Object Audit Fields

Both data migration and RMM integration users require permissions to set object audit fields (such as CreatedDate). These permissions have to be explicitly granted, even to System Administrators:

  1. Go to Setup → User Interface and check Enable “Set Audit Fields upon Record Creation” and “Update Records with Inactive Owners” User Permissions:

  6. Save the set
