Replacing Users

Overview

Follow these instructions to replace one User with another. For example, if a sales or marketing person leaves the organization you may need to remove or deactivate that person's User account in Salesforce.com and make equivalent updates in Lead Liaison. When creating a new User make sure to update all your business processes. In the instructions below we explain how to handle this same scenario.  

Follow in Sequence

Make sure to follow these instructions in sequence from top to bottom.
