Monitoring - If you are still experiencing no data syncing with Salesforce as caused by the May 17th, 2019 permissions issue, please read the following instructions. To ensure the integrity of your data, we have disabled sync between Pardot and Salesforce, and you must take one of the actions below before sync can be re-enabled.
If you were previously only syncing a subset of your CRM data with Pardot, commonly referred to as “Selective Sync" (https://www.pardot.com/training/implementing-selective-syncing/), please manually restore your connector user's permissions to their original configuration prior to the May 17, 2019 permissions issue. Once this is complete, please contact Pardot support to have your syncing re-enabled.
If you were previously using the standard connector user permission configuration, please review it and ensure those permissions match the settings described here: https://sfdc.co/PardotPerms. Once this is completed, your syncing will automatically be re-enabled within 2 hours.

Update - All production instances are now out of service disruption and in a performance degradation state as service levels return to normal. During a performance degradation, end users are able to access the service, however, some functionality within the service may not be available or running at optimal performance. We are aware that some customers continue to experience issues, and Salesforce is working urgently to resolve them. Customers should continue to check Trust for updates.
While the permissions issue did not affect every Pardot customer, we did disable jobs that sync data between Pardot and the Salesforce application in order to protect the integrity of our customers’ data. This action was taken at 17:30 UTC on May 17, 2019.
We have restored sync for the vast majority of our customers. A subset of customers will continue to see disabled sync in their accounts while ongoing remediation takes place. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

Update - The automated provisioning to restore permissions has now been executed on all production instances. Following that fix, a subset of users in affected orgs on the NA53, NA57 and NA59 instances had their permission levels changed again, which gave them broader data access than intended. Salesforce downgraded those users’ permissions to only allow login and limited additional functionality while blocking the broadened data access. Salesforce developed and executed another automated provisioning fix to change the permission levels for the subset of affected users on NA53, NA57, and NA59. Affected users in these orgs with standard default profiles should now have the current default permission levels. For admins that need guidance on how to manually restore user permissions, please see the instructions in this Known Issue article http://sfdc.co/PermSetKI. We are aware that some customers continue to experience issues, and Salesforce is working urgently to resolve them. Customers should continue to check Trust for updates.
While the permissions issue did not affect every Pardot customer, we did disable jobs that sync data between Pardot and the Salesforce application in order to protect the integrity of our customers’ data.

We have re-enabled Salesforce sync for Pardot customers with standard connector user permission configurations (https://sfdc.co/PardotPerms), excepting those connecting with NA59 Salesforce instances.

Update - The automated provisioning to restore permissions has now been executed on all production instances. Following that fix, a subset of users in affected orgs on the NA53, NA57, and NA59 instances had their permission levels reset again, which gave them broader data access than intended. Customers on NA53 and NA59 may experience service disruption as we work through the removal of the inadvertent permissions in the affected customer orgs. For affected orgs on NA53, NA57 and NA59, users who had their permissions broadened have had their permissions restored.

As we work to restore permissions to affected orgs, we are also working to reenable sync between Pardot and the Salesforce application for those orgs that have not been affected or have had their permissions fixed. Data from interactions with Pardot is being queued, and will resume processing back to the CRM once it is safe to do so.

In parallel, we ran an automated provisioning fix to restore user permissions to where they were before the incident occurred. The automated provisioning has been run on most instances, including NA57. We continue to work on a fix for the remaining instances. If you are still experiencing issues with your user permissions, we have prepared a set of instructions for admins to manually restore them. See: http://sfdc.co/PermSetKI. Those instructions also include guidance for Field Service Lightning administrators. If your issues persist, please log a case with Support.

Identified - The Salesforce Technology team is investigating an issue impacting Salesforce customer orgs that have Pardot provisioned, or had Pardot provisioned, in those orgs.
A subset of customers across several Salesforce NA and EU instances are experiencing a service disruption. Salesforce blocked access to certain instances that contain customers affected by a database script deployment that inadvertently gave users broader data access than intended. While the permissions issue only impacted customers who have the Pardot package or previously had the Pardot package, to protect our customers, we blocked access to all instances that contain affected orgs until we could block access only to orgs impacted by the broader permissions. As a result, customers who were not affected may have also experienced service disruption. We have unblocked access for all orgs that were not affected by the permission issues. In parallel, we are working to restore the original permissions as quickly as possible for customers that were affected by the permissions change. Salesforce customers who have the Pardot package, or previously had the Pardot package, will continue to have limited or no access to their orgs including Marketing Cloud integrations, where applicable. Customers should continue to check Trust for updates.
