Difficulty: EasyUser Activation, Deactivation, and Freezing

An administrator at a healthcare logistics company needs to immediately block system access for an operations coordinator who has recently left the organization. The user is currently designated as a required approver in an active approval process. Which two statements describe the primary reasons for freezing the user account instead of deactivating it? (Select 2 answers)

  1. Freezing prevents the user from logging into Salesforce immediately without breaking active system processes.Answer
  2. Freezing allows the administrator time to reassign pending approval requests and references before deactivating the account.Answer
  3. C
    Freezing immediately unassigns the user license so it can be reallocated to a new employee.
  4. D
    Freezing automatically transfers all pending approval requests and owned records to the user's manager.

Answer

Freezing the account prevents user login while maintaining system dependencies, and it gives administrators time to reassign active processes before deactivation.
Freezing a user account immediately prevents login while keeping system references active, allowing administrators the necessary time to reassign pending approval requests before deactivating the user.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the immediate operational requirements when revoking access for a user with system dependencies.
Determine that immediate deactivation might fail or disrupt active approval processes.
Users linked to ongoing automation or approval processes require temporary access restriction first.
2
Evaluate the functional behavior of freezing a user account.
Confirm that freezing prevents login and keeps dependencies intact while retaining the license.
Freezing allows administrators to perform necessary administrative cleanups prior to account deactivation.
