Users in Salesforce - Day 8
Users in Salesforce - Day 8
DAY - 8
User:
User is a person who have credentials to log in to Salesforce and use the application.
Users are employees of company who need to access the company records.
By default, every user in salesforce will have a user account.
The User account identifies the user and the settings determines it’s features.
User Licenses:
A user license determines the baseline of features that the user can access. Every user must have exactly
one user license.
Creation of User:
=============
Setup-> Administer->Manage Users-> New User -> fill all required fields -> Profile (Sales Profile) -> save
Deactivate a User
=============
You can't delete a user, but you can deactivate an account so a user can’t log in. Deactivated users lose
access to all records. (That includes records that are shared with them individually and records shared with
them as team members.) However, you can still transfer this data to other users and view the names on the
Users page.
In Setup, use the Quick Find box to go to Users.
Click Edit next to the name of the user you want to deactivate.
Clear the Active checkbox and click Save.
If you can’t immediately deactivate an account (for example, when the user is selected in a custom
hierarchy field), you can freeze their account. That prevents the user from logging in to your organization
while you’re working on deactivating them.
On the Users page in Setup, click the username of the user whose account you want to freeze.
Click Freeze.
Set Password Policy:
================
You can configure several settings to ensure that your users’ passwords are strong and secure.
Password policies:
================
Set password and login policies, such as specifying an amount of time before all users’ passwords expire
and the level of complexity required for passwords.
User password expiration:
==================
Expire the passwords for all the users in your org, except for users with “Password Never Expires”
permission.
User password resets:
===============
Reset the password for specified users.
Login attempts and lockout periods:
=========================
If a user is locked out due to too many failed login attempts, you can unlock the person’s access.
