Syllabus
Week 1
The Basics
Welcome to the Course! (60min)
Welcome to User Management in Salesforce! It's awesome to have you here. All you need is an internet connection and up-to-date browser (Salesforce doesn't support Internet Explore; plus it's time for a change). Off we go!
What are Users in Salesforce? (60min)

Week 2
User Security
Licences in Salesforce (45min)

What are Profiles? Only the most important tool for sharing data with users in Salesforce! Aha - now you're interested. Excellent! Let's jump in while the motivation is hot!

Week 3
User Collaboration
Roles and Hierarchies (30min)
Now we're really getting into it! Roles & Hierarchies are how we can share specific records outside of what we've selected in their Profile. If a Profile was colouring with a crayon, we're now going in with a fine-tip pen.
Using Groups (30min)
The more the merrier! If Roles & Hierarchies just don't cut it, what next? Introducing Groups! Creating Groups is easy, secure, and flexible. Or is that just my life goals? Never mind - off we go!
Opportunity and Account Teams (45min)
Team work makes the dream work! Does that mean that if you can't remember your dreams, you're not a team player? Good question... but not for today! Let's do something better - let's learn some Salesforce.
Week 4
Empowering the User
What The User Can Control (30min)

Syncing Emails (60min)
As much as we try to deny it, emails are mission critical in Sales. It can also be a major source of stress for end user. No more! Let's go through the different Salesforce solutions for email and which one is best.
