      Hi Saddam,

      • Setup Object is:
        1. Profiles
        2. Users
        3. Record Type
      • Non-Setup Object :
        1. Lead
        2. Account
        2. Contact
        4. Any Custom Object

      Hi Saddam,

      SetUp Objects:Setup objects are objects that are used to interact with the metadata. Common example is the User, Profile, Layout object.

      Non-SetUp Object: Every other objects like those which are native(Standard Objects) and Custom Objects fall into the category of Non-Setup Objects.

      One important note is that we cannot perform DMLs on setup and non-setup objects in the same transaction. Workaround is that you need to use asynchronous requests (@future) or use batch as it runs in its own system context.

      In the test class, you can use System.RunAs with two different users to separate out transactions for setup and non-setup objects.

      Hi Saddam,

      A "setup" object is one that must be edited from the setup or builder area of the platform.

      Setup objects are

      * User

      * RecordType

      * Profile

      etc

      and all other general objects i.e.

      * Contact

      * Account

      * Lead

      etc

      are the None setup objects.

      If you run a DML operation on setup object you can't run a DML operation on None setup object in the same context, it will show the "Mixed_DML_operation" error.

      For example, you cannot insert an account and then insert a user or a group member in a single transaction.

      Salesforce don’t allow you to run.

      Thanks
