  •  Salesforce Field-Level Security
    The Salesforce feature named "Field-level security" let's you restrict users’ access to view and edit specific fields. To ensure that Skyhigh CASB can access the event feed via API, please make sure that the role assigned to the API user has _no_ field-level restrictions. Especially not for the "SHNEvent" APEX Object which is installed with the Salesforce Add-In Package.
