Free Integration User Licenses
Salesforce offers a specialized licensing solution tailored for users engaged in integrating external systems with the Salesforce platform: the Salesforce Integration User License.
In the Salesforce ecosystem, every user requires a specific license, dictating their level of access within the platform. Historically, users involved solely in integration tasks were often assigned costlier licenses, granting them unnecessary features and access levels.
The Integration User License streamlines this process, catering specifically to users engaged in system-to-system integrations. These licenses grant users exclusive API access while restricting their interaction with other platform functionalities and data, optimizing both functionality and cost-effectiveness.
Benefits of adding the licenses to your Salesforce
Instant cost-savings
Each organization can benefit from up to five complimentary Integration User Licenses. This allocation enables the redistribution of existing licenses within your organization, ensuring that they are allocated to users who require them for their specific roles, reducing immediate licensing expenses. Additional licenses beyond the allotted five are available for $10/month per license.
Business Continuity
Relying on an administrator’s personal credentials to manage integrations presents a potential threat to business continuity, as it consolidates control into a single point of contact. To mitigate this risk, adopting the Integration User License eliminates the necessity of leveraging personal data. In addition, in the event of an administrator’s departure, there’s no need for data or personal information transfer, ensuring seamless continuity within the organization’s operations.
Lower Your Security Risk
Utilizing an admin license for integrations grants unnecessary access, heightening security vulnerabilities. To optimize security and enhance clarity, it’s advisable to employ one integration user license per integration. This approach ensures a clear understanding of each integration’s parameters, mitigating risks effectively.
