✅ Best Practices
Naming Conventions
- Use consistent username format:
firstname.lastname@company.amigo.com
- Use meaningful aliases for quick identification
Security Considerations
- Assign minimum necessary permissions (principle of least privilege)
- Review user access quarterly
- Deactivate users promptly when they leave
- Use permission sets instead of modifying profiles
License Management
- Track license utilization in Setup > Company Information
- Plan for license needs before adding users
- Consider read-only licenses for stakeholders who only need visibility
🔧 Troubleshooting
User Can’t Log In
- Verify the username is correct
- Check if user is active (not frozen or deactivated)
- Reset password if needed
- Verify license is assigned
User Can’t See AMIGO
- Check profile assignment
- Verify AMIGO permission sets are assigned
- Confirm app is visible in App Launcher settings
User Can’t See Records
- Check organization assignment in AMIGO
- Review sharing settings
- Verify RACI assignments for specific records
- Check field-level security
