Changing a User type

Use the User detail view to convert a user from one type to another. For example, you can change a Web Only user to a Concurrent user. You can also require to retire a user or re-activate a Retired user.

A license must be available for the new user type, except when you change a user to a Retired user. Retiring a user releases one instance of the license type previously assigned to that user.

Rules

Before you change a user to a Retired user, perform these:

  • If the user owns any records, do a territory realignment (in the Administrator).
  • If the user is an account manager for any accounts, do a territory realignment (in the Administrator) to assign a new account manager.
  • If the user is a manager, reassign any users who report to their new manager or to the Administrator.

Before you change a user to a Web Only user, ensure that:

  • If the user is a manager, clear this setting in the User detail view.
  • If other users are listed as part of this user User Team, remove them. See User Team Members tab

To change

  1. Access the User detail view for the user you require to convert. See User detail view
  2. Select a new user type in the User Type field.
  3. Click Save.
