Types of execution - System Mode or User Mode?

Overview


I was trying to prepare a consolidated list of different types of executions and if those are executed in System mode or User mode.

Taken from my popular question: Types of execution

What it actually means?


User Mode - Profile level permissions, field-level security, and sharing rules of the current user are enforced.
System Mode - Object permissions, field-level security, sharing rules aren't applied for the current user.

Comprehensive list


  • Trigger - System
  • Validation Rule - System
  • Auto Response Rule - System
  • Assignment Rule - System
  • Workflow Rule - System
  • Escalation Rule - System
  • All Types of calculation behind formula, Rollup Summary - System
  • Process Builder - System
  • Visual Workflow or flow - User
    • if flow is called from Process Builder - System
    • if flow is called from Workflow - System
    • if flow is called from Apex - (depends on with or w/o sharing of apex class)
    • if flow is called from Custom Button - System
    • if flow is embed in Visualforce - Depends on VFP context
    • if flow is called from REST API - System
  • Approval Process - System
  • Publisher Action - System
  • InvocableMethod
    • if this is called from flow - User
    • if this is called from Process Builder (does it depends on with or without sharing is specified on that Class) - System
    • if this is called from REST API - (depends on with or w/o sharing of the class)
  • Custom Button - System
  • Test method with System.runAs() - User
  • Test method without System.runAs() - System
  • Visualforce Page (StandardController) - User
  • Visualforce Page (StandardController with extension) - System
  • Visualforce Page (Custom Controller)
    • depends on with or without sharing of the controller
  • Visualforce Component - depends on Visualforce page where it is used
  • Macros - System
  • Annonymous Apex - User
  • Chatter in Apex - User
  • Email Service - User
  • All types of Jobs - System
  • Apex Webservices (SOAP API and REST API) - System (Consequently, the current user's credentials are not used, and any user who has access to these methods can use their full power, regardless of permissions, field-level security, or sharing rules.)
