Best Practices

Administrator Management

  • Least privilege - Grant minimum necessary permissions
  • Unique accounts - Each user should have their own account
  • Strong passwords - Enforce password complexity
  • Regular audits - Review accounts periodically
  • Disable, don't delete - Soft delete preserves audit trail

Role Design

  • Specific roles - Create roles for specific job functions
  • Avoid overlap - Clear boundaries between roles
  • Test permissions - Verify access as each role
  • Document purposes - Note what each role is for

Profile Fields

  • Only necessary fields - Don't collect unnecessary data
  • Clear naming - Use descriptive field names
  • Consistent types - Use appropriate field types
  • Required carefully - Only require essential fields
