Can Two Users Have The Same Profile? Can Two Profiles Be Assigned To The Same User?

Answer»
  • Profiles determine the LEVEL of access a user can have in a Salesforce org.
  • As far as the first part of the question is CONCERNED, Yes. ONE profile can be assigned to any number of users. Take the example of a Sales or Service team in a company. The entire team will be assigned the same profile. The ADMIN can create one profile: Sales Profile, which will have access to the Leads, Opportunities, Campaigns, Contacts and other objects deemed necessary by the company.
  • In this way, many users can be assigned the same profile. In case the team lead or manager need access to additional records/ objects then it can be done by assigning permission SETS only for those users.
  • Answering the second part of the question, each user can only be assigned 1 profile.
