Salesforce Administrator — Question 18

Universal Containers has purchased additional licenses for five new sales representatives that will start in 30 days. The email accounts for the new representatives will not be active until they start. The new users should be set up ahead of time to assign records, list views, and other Salesforce utilities needed on the day they start.
Which method should a System Administrator use to set up the new users without sending a notification?

Answer options

• A. Create new users, and then set the start date for 30 days ahead.
• B. Create new users, and then assign a permission set with a start date for 30 days ahead.
• C. Create new users, and then Freeze the users.
• D. Create new users, and uncheck Generate new password, and notify the user immediately.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because setting the start date for 30 days ahead ensures that the users are created without sending notifications. Option B incorrectly suggests assigning a permission set with a future start date, which would still send notifications. Option C, freezing the users, does not provide them with access or the ability to assign records. Option D would notify the users immediately, contrary to the requirement.
