Clone a Salesforce User Record

Fecha de publicación: May 26, 2026
Descripción

Salesforce does not include a native "Clone User" button as part of standard functionality.

Customers who need to duplicate a Salesforce user record — for example, when onboarding a new employee who should have the same profile, role, and permission sets as an existing user — must use a third-party AppExchange app or a custom programmatic solution.

Note: Writing custom code or troubleshooting any third-party AppExchange app is beyond the scope of Salesforce Support.

Solución

The most straightforward approach for cloning a Salesforce user record is to find an app on the Salesforce AppExchange that provides user cloning functionality. Search AppExchange for "clone user" to find both free and paid options that automate the process of duplicating user fields, profiles, roles, and permission set assignments.

Alternatively, a Salesforce developer can build a custom solution using Visualforce, Apex, or a Flow that reads field values from an existing User record and uses them to create a new User record with the same configuration.

Try a third-party app: Visit Salesforce AppExchange and search for "clone user" to find available solutions.

Custom development approach: A developer can create a Visualforce page or Apex class that copies the relevant fields from one User record to a new User record. Salesforce developer community forums and the Trailblazer Community contain examples and discussions of this approach.
