How can you do the following in Salesforce?

How can you do the following in Salesforce?
“While importing data using data loader validation rules should be bypassed and for normal users validation rules should be enforced.“

Hi Regula,

I don’t you can directly do this, but this can be achieved by using a workaround.
1. Add a check box to the object, but don’t show it on the page layout.
2. Check whether this is true on all your validations , workflows or triggers.
3. During data import turn this check box off.
Hope this helps.

Hi Regula,

The mentioned scenario can be achieved by by-passing the User ID which is used for data import via Data Loader in the validation rule.

For Eg.: Use ” $User.Id = ‘00532000000OqwAWQS’ ” and define the User ID for which the rule needs to be by-passed and place it logically in the validation rule.

Thanks & Regards
