Quick Create User
Use case: creating users in a sandbox using only an email
The Quick Create User tool was built to replace the long process of creating a user in a sandbox. 90% of the time you have an email address and you just want to give System Administrator access, this tool drives the population of all the required User fields based on the email and other configurable defaults.
Features
- Smart auto-population of required User fields
- Uniquely generated Username/Nickname
- First/Last name extraction from email
- Where the format is first.last@domain.com
- In the case of first.middle.last@domain.com only "first" and "last" are used.
- In the case of first@domain.com only "first" is put in the Last Name field and the First Name field is kept empty.
- Automatic Clipboard scan for an email on open
- Enable in the Settings, re-open the window and grant the Clipboard permission.
- If no valid email is found, the field will be kept blank.
- When enabled, you can achieve 2-click user creation!
- Configurable Username generation
- Change the domain
- Configurable Default Profile/Role
- Available from nearly anywhere in Salesforce!
User Cloning
Use case: cloning a user including permission sets, public groups etc
User cloning is built into the Quick Create User tool to allow you to clone a User record including permission set assignments, public group/queue memberships and standard and custom fields.
Accessible via the "Clone a User..." button in Quick Create User or by the "Clone" button on top of the User detail page.
Features
- (all from Quick Create User)
- Cloning Permission Set assignments
- Cloning Public Group memberships
- Cloning Queue memberships
- Choice to activate/deactive user
Public Group/Queue Membership Editing
Use case: editing Public Group/Queue memberships from the User detail page
The Public Group/Queue Membership editing tool was built to replace the frustrating process of managing a User's Public Group/Queue membership. Usually, you'd need to navigate to each Public Group/Queue and edit it to include the user.
Instead, a "Edit Memberships" button is now available on the Public Group Memberships and Queue Memberships related lists on the User detail page.
Features
- Multi-select and Select All
- Toggle between label or API name
- Filter by label or API name
- Match another user's group memberships
Audit Trail
Use case: viewing and filtering the Audit Trail without having to download a CSV
In Setup+, you can find an Audit Trail tool that downloads and displays the Audit Trail for the current environment.
Features
- Multi-column filtering
- Non-case-sensitive contains
- Hiding columns
