Salesforce Clone User Access Made Easy

The Everyday Request Admins Can’t Escape
Aisha, a Salesforce Admin, gets the same message almost every week: “We have a new sales rep starting. Can you set them up with the same access as the current team member?”
It sounds simple. But for Aisha, it means opening Salesforce Setup:
- Compare profiles and licenses line by line.
- Check every permission set, queue, and public group.
- Copy package licenses and PSLs without missing a detail.
- Hope nothing slips through the cracks.
Hours later, she hopes nothing slipped through. This is the reality for most admins — cloning access manually is repetitive, error-prone, and eats away at time that could be spent on strategic projects.
Why Manual Cloning Slows You Down
- Time lost: Each new user or role change means repetitive setup.
- Inconsistency: Different admins clone access differently, introducing errors.
- Compliance gaps: Too much access creates exposure; too little delays productivity.
Cloning User Access the Smarter Way
When Aisha uses User 360, the entire process changes.
- Pick a predefined Process Template
- Instead of starting from scratch, she selects a reusable Clone User Access template.
- Templates are designed once and reused for every request.
- Submit a request
- Aisha can execute immediately or schedule for a future date/time (e.g., for a new hire’s start date).
- She can use the Logs to keep the process transparent, showing exactly what was provisioned.
- Automatic access cloning
- User 360 gives Aisha control over how access is applied to one or multiple destination users.
- Supports Clone Types:
- Sync Permissions: destination user matches the source exactly.
- Add-Up Permissions: only missing access is added.
- Cloneable items include Permission Sets, Permission Set Groups, Public Groups/Queues, PSLs, and Package Licenses.
For Aisha, one request now replaces hours of manual work, delivering accurate and consistent results every time.
Making Access Cloning Simple, Every Time
What Aisha values most is that everything runs through a request.
- Every access change begins with a request tied to a template, eliminating the inconsistencies of ad-hoc manual work.
- She can run requests for one user or multiple users in bulk with the same process template designed.
- Once submitted, User 360 carries out the steps automatically — assigning the right permissions, groups, and licenses as set in the templates.
- When another manager asks the same thing tomorrow, Aisha doesn’t rebuild the process. She just repeats the request with the same template.
This is the real value: access cloning is no longer repetitive work — it’s a repeatable automation.
What Powers User 360 Behind the Scenes
Aisha doesn’t just see results; she knows what’s happening under the hood. Cloning access isn’t just a one-click shortcut in User 360. It’s built on a structured process that ensures automation is repeatable, flexible, and compliant.
- Start with a Process Template
- Every automation begins with a template.
- Admins define Clone User Access as the primary action and can add supporting steps like updating user details, assigning permission sets, or sending emails.
- Fields can be locked or marked editable, giving flexibility at request time without breaking the standard.
- Control with Entry Conditions
- Each step can be wrapped in conditions to run only when certain criteria are met.
- Use AND/OR/Custom logic to tailor execution to user attributes, roles, or departments.
- This reduces the need for duplicate templates and keeps processes clean.
- Keep Templates Evolving with Versioning
- Templates can be activated, deactivated, or cloned into a new version without disrupting existing requests.
- Version history ensures you can always track what changed and roll back if needed.
- Automate with Real-Time Enablement
- Instead of waiting for a manual request, User 360 can trigger automatically when a user record is created or updated.
- Perfect for role changes, promotions, or integrations from systems like Okta or Active Directory.
- Run When You Need It
- Submit requests to execute immediately or schedule them for a future date and time.
- Ideal for preparing Day-1 access for new hires without rushing on the start date.
- Execution with Traceability
- Once submitted, requests run step by step.
- Logs capture what was cloned, where it succeeded, and if any errors occurred.
- Admins can recall, adjust, and resubmit — keeping every action transparent and auditable.
