Question

Difficulty: MediumUser Activation, Deactivation, and Freezing

A Salesforce Administrator at a maritime shipping enterprise needs to immediately revoke system login access for a system manager who is currently designated as the Default Workflow User in Process Automation Settings. Which TWO statements accurately describe the administrative behavior and options available in this situation?

  1. Freezing the user account immediately prevents system login access while retaining the user's license and default workflow user designation.Answer
  2. B
    Freezing the user account immediately frees up the assigned user license so it can be reassigned to a new team member.
  3. Deactivating the user account is prohibited until the Default Workflow User setting is updated to reference another active user.Answer
  4. D
    Deactivating the user account automatically reassigns the Default Workflow User setting to the System Administrator profile.

Answer

Freezing the account immediately blocks login without affecting process references or licenses, while deactivation is blocked until the Default Workflow User setting is changed to another active user.
Freezing a user account immediately revokes login privileges without altering underlying system configurations or releasing consumed licenses. Meanwhile, user deactivation cannot be completed directly when the target user is referenced as the Default Workflow User in Process Automation Settings; the administrator must first assign that role to another active user.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate immediate access restrictions for users tied to system processes
Freezing the account blocks login access instantly without breaking process automation setup.
Freezing is designed for situations where a user cannot be deactivated immediately due to pending processes or system references.
2
Analyze requirements for user deactivation
Deactivation requires clearing or reassigning specific references like the Default Workflow User beforehand.
Salesforce throws an error if an administrator attempts to deactivate a user who is configured as the Default Workflow User.
