Simplifying Salesforce Onboarding with User 360

Table of Contents
The Onboarding Challenge
Every time a new hire joins, Salesforce Admins face a familiar grind: creating the user, assigning the right license, adding permission sets, placing them into queues and groups, and making sure they have access to everything they need from day one.
It sounds simple — but in reality, it’s dozens of clicks across different screens, constant back-and-forth with managers or HR, and plenty of room for errors. The result? New employees often wait days before they can start contributing, while admins spend hours firefighting requests.
The Solution in Action
With User 360, onboarding doesn’t mean rebuilding steps every time. Instead, admins simply:
- Select a predefined onboarding template that includes all actions in one flow, from assigning licenses and permission sets to adding users into public groups and even sending welcome emails.
- Create a request for a single hire or many hires at once using the bulk upload option.
- Schedule the request for a future date/time — perfect when onboarding needs to align with a start date or when multiple hires are joining together.
- Track live progress in audit logs, where every action is recorded for compliance and visibility.
- Recall a request if changes are needed or clone an existing request to onboard similar users faster.


What used to take hours of manual effort can now be done instantly, or scheduled in advance so admins don’t have to babysit the process.
How It Works Behind the Scenes
The simplicity upfront is powered by templates designed in advance.

- Process Templates: Define the full onboarding sequence once — user creation, license assignments, queue membership, notification emails, and more.
- Editable Options: Mark specific fields (like license or profile) as editable, giving admins flexibility to adjust during request creation without building a new template.
- Clone From (per action): Instead of searching for the right license, profile, or permission set, admins can choose to “clone from” an existing user’s configuration for that specific action.
- Clone User Access: A powerful capability that allows admins to replicate all access for a new hire in one action. By selecting an existing user as the reference, everything — licenses, permission sets, groups, and more can be cloned in bulk without juggling multiple template steps.
- Entry Conditions: Add rules inside templates to adapt automatically (e.g., a sales hire in Europe gets GDPR-related permissions, while one in the US gets Sales Cloud access).
- Connected Orgs: Use the same onboarding flow across multiple environments such as production, full sandbox, or dev orgs ensuring setup stays consistent.
- Track Requests: Easily see all requests tied to a single template, making it clear how and where each template is being applied.
This structure makes onboarding both repeatable and adaptable, giving admins control without sacrificing speed.
Why It Feels Effortless
Admins don’t have to think through every detail. The template carries the logic, while the request brings it to life:
- Common scenarios are cloned instead of rebuilt.
- Logs provide complete visibility with no blind spots.
- Entry conditions handle variations without manual changes.
- Connected orgs ensure onboarding stays uniform across the business.
- Bulk requests let entire teams start on day one, fully ready.
- Scheduling frees admins from being “on call” — onboarding can be queued up ahead of time and runs automatically when needed.
The result is confidence — employees walk in with the right access, and admins know nothing was overlooked.
