Users

User access to is governed by a series of permission set groups, permission sets and custom permissions. Administrators can use these permission set groups, permission sets, and custom permissions to provision new users. As some users may not have the required standard Salesforce permissions to provision new users or reset passwords, users with the PP_Provision_User_Accounts custom permission set may provision document authors and reset their passwords by creating User Request records. User Request records are processed at the beginning of every hour by default.

Permission set groups

Permission set groups simplify permission assignment and management by grouping permission sets based on job functions. When you assign a user a permission set group, the user receives all of the permission sets that the permission set group is comprised of. The following table lists the permission set groups and details the permission sets that each permission set group contains.

Note: If there are permissions in the permission set groups that you do not want users to have, you can mute or block the permissions at the permission set group level without editing the permission sets.

Provision new users

Scientific Publications Cloud product access is governed by users having access to the CM User custom permission. Administrators with the appropriate standard Salesforce permissions can manually grant users access to Scientific Publications Cloud product by assigning them the CM User custom permission. Users with the PP_Provision_User_Accounts custom permission set can provision document authors and reset their passwords by creating User Request records.

Create new users

To manually create a new user and grant the user access to Scientific Publications Cloud product:

1. If the user does not already exist in Salesforce, add the user to Salesforce. Visit Salesforce's View and Manage Users documentation.

2. In the Quick Find box in Setup, search for and select Users, and then click the Full Name of the user.

3. Click Edit Assignments on the Permission Set Group Assignments related list.

4. Select the appropriate Permission Set Group(s). To use the Scientific Publications Cloud product, the user must be assigned a permission set group that contains a permission set with the CM User custom permission.

   

5. Click Save.

Create User Requests records

If you do not have the standard Salesforce permissions required to create and provision new users but have the PP_Provision_User_Accounts custom permission set, you can:

• Provision document authors by using the Related Document Authors component to create User Request records with a record type of New User. To prevent duplicate users, an error occurs if you use the component to try and provision a document author with the same email address as an existing user. This check is not performed if you use another method, such as a data load, to create and provision document authors.

• Reset users passwords by creating User Request records with a record type of Password Reset.

System run batch jobs process User Request records at the beginning of every hour by default.

User Request (mvn__PP_User_Request__c)

The User Request (mvn__PP_User_Request__c) object stores user request details for provisioning user access and resetting user passwords. System run batch jobs process User Request records at the beginning of every hour by default. Once a User Request record is processed, the Result field changes to Success, and the Status field changes to Complete. Processed records are not deleted.

Note: To create a User Request record, you must have the PP_Provision_User_Accounts custom permission set.
