解决VSCode中SF全量元数据检索的GenAiPromptTemplate权限不足问题

Root Cause #

GenAiPromptTemplate is a metadata type tied to Salesforce's AI features (e.g., Einstein GPT), not a standard object. Even with Modify All Data and View All Data permissions, specific permissions for this metadata type are required to retrieve it via the API.

Resolution Steps #

1. Assign the AI Prompts Permission Set

   • Go to Setup → Users → Permission Sets.
   • Find the AI Prompts permission set (automatically created when Einstein GPT features are enabled in your org).
   • Click Assign, select your admin user from the list, and save the assignment.

2. Verify Critical Permissions

   • Confirm your admin profile has Customize Application enabled (check via Setup → Profiles → [Your Admin Profile] → System Permissions).
   • Double-check that API Enabled is still active (you noted this is already enabled, but rule out accidental changes).

3. Retry the Retrieve Command

   • After updating permissions, run the command again:

     sfdx force:source:retrieve -x manifest/package.xml -u vscodeOrg
     

Alternative: Exclude GenAiPromptTemplate (If Unneeded) #

If you don't require this metadata type, modify your package.xml to remove the <types> entry for GenAiPromptTemplate, then re-run the retrieve command.
