Salesforce user types available in BMC Remedyforce
The following user types are available in BMC Remedyforce:
Standard user—Remedyforce Staff have full functionality of BMC Remedyforce features and can create and manage incidents, problems, change requests, broadcasts, tasks, knowledge articles, configuration items, service requests, service level agreements, reports, dashboards, Chatter, and other service desk related functions, including change assessments and approvals. This is typically called a Salesforce Platform license in Salesforce.
- End user—Customers receive 250 end user licenses at no additional cost for each BMC Remedyforce standard user license they purchase. End users can access the Self Service portal to search the knowledge base, submit service requests, and check the status of their service requests and on behalf of others. End users can also approve records and use Chatter. This is typically called a Salesforce Platform license in Salesforce. However, in some cases it could also be a Customer Portal Manager Custom license.
- Casual user (license add on)—BMC Remedyforce casual users have the same functionality as BMC Remedyforce standard users, but their average login time and number of records updated might not exceed 40% of the average login time and number of records updated by standard users in the same Salesforce organization.
- Platform user (license add on)—This user license is purchased in addition to the BMC Remedyforce Standard user. This is an option to add full rights to platform functionality to build and use custom applications, use Appexchange applications, and so on.
