Use this interactive demo to learn how to create and add new users in Salesforce.

Quick summary

Adding a new user in Salesforce requires navigating to Setup, searching for the Users section, and filling in the required user details before saving. This process grants individuals access to your Salesforce org and allows admins to assign roles and permissions for precise access control.


Steps

  1. Go to Setup in the top right corner of Salesforce.
  2. In the Quick Find box, type "Users" and select it from the results.
  3. Click New User to initiate the user creation process.
  4. Fill in the required User Details in the form.
  5. Check the Generate new password and notify user immediately box to send login credentials automatically.
  6. Hit Save to create the new user.
  7. Optionally, assign additional roles for further permission control.

📌 Why this matters

Adding users in Salesforce is a foundational admin task that controls who can access your CRM data and how. Proper user management ensures that sales reps, managers, and support teams have the right level of access without compromising data security. Salesforce's role-based permission system lets admins enforce the principle of least privilege, reducing the risk of unauthorized data exposure. Getting this setup right from the start is critical for organizations scaling their Salesforce adoption across teams.
