Difficulty: MediumUser Activation, Deactivation, and Freezing

A Salesforce Administrator at an agricultural technology enterprise needs to immediately revoke system login access for a departing sales operations coordinator. When trying to deactivate the user account, Salesforce displays an error message indicating that the user is currently designated as the Default Workflow User in Process Automation Settings. Which immediate action should the administrator take to prevent the user from logging in while maintaining system operational integrity?

  1. Freeze the user account to block login access immediately, then reassign the Default Workflow User setting before deactivating the user.Answer
  2. B
    Deactivate the user account after temporarily disabling all active workflow rules in the organization.
  3. C
    Modify the user's profile login hours to prevent login access while preserving the active license status permanently.
  4. D
    Delete the user record from Salesforce to automatically transfer all automated system process ownership to the system administrator.

Answer

Freeze the user account to block login access immediately, then reassign the Default Workflow User setting before deactivating the user.
Freezing a user account immediately revokes login access without releasing the license or breaking functional dependencies. This allows administrators to stop user logins instantly while they update process references, such as the Default Workflow User setting, before permanently deactivating the account.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the immediate requirement and system bottleneck
Login access must be revoked immediately, but direct deactivation is blocked because the user is assigned as the Default Workflow User.
Salesforce prevents deactivation of users tied to specific hierarchy roles, default owners, or system settings such as Default Workflow User.
2
Apply the appropriate user management tool for immediate access revocation
Freeze the user account from the User detail page.
Freezing blocks login access right away without requiring the removal of active references or configuration dependencies.
3
Resolve configuration dependencies and finalize account status
Reassign the Default Workflow User setting to an active user, then deactivate the original user account.
Once the configuration reference is cleared, deactivation can be completed to free up the user license.
