User Creation

A user is anyone who logs into Salesforce, represented by the User Standard Object.
User records are managed in Setup and can also be viewed/edited through the People tab.
Required fields include Last Name, Alias, Email, Username, Nickname, User License, and Profile.
Username must be unique, in email format, and used to log in.
Email is for communication from Salesforce to the user.
User licenses and profiles are discussed in the Security & Access module.

User Creation Methods

New User: Create one user at a time.
Add Multiple Users: Create up to ten users simultaneously using available user licenses.
Cannot specify aliases, nicknames, or separate usernames/emails when adding multiple users.
Generate new password and notify users immediately by default. This can be unchecked.

User Importance

Proper management is critical for user satisfaction and security compliance.
Profiles and roles are managed in the Security & Access module.

User Statuses

User status indicates a user's current condition (Active, Inactive, Frozen, Locked).
