Where are VIPs executed?

Where are VIPs executed?

• A. On the server side
• B. On the client side
• C. In the Salesforce Apex layer
• D. In the browser's local storage

Answer: (A)

VIPs are executed on the server side. Running them on the server ensures secure access to Salesforce data, enforces sharing rules and governance, and keeps business logic centralized and consistent across all users and devices. Executing on the client would expose logic and data to end users and rely on their device security, which is not reliable. The Apex layer is also server-side, so it fits under the same concept. Browser local storage is merely storage in the user’s device and cannot execute such logic, so it cannot host VIPs.
