Preparing for installation

Only system administrators can install BMC Remedyforce in an existing Salesforce organization. Before you install, perform the following actions:

Setting up the required profiles

Before you install the managed package, you must create the profiles listed in the following table:

Profile	Description
ServiceDesk Staff	This profile is assigned to users who are responsible for resolving requests from clients.
ServiceDesk Client	This profile is assigned to users who typically contact the Service Desk requesting help or a service. For example, someone in Sales calls the Service Desk in order to have a new laptop configured.
ServiceDesk Change Manager	This profile is assigned to users who manage Change Management within BMC Remedyforce.

Important

For all the profiles that you create to access BMC Remedyforce (that also have Salesforce user license), ensure that for each profile, the View Setup and Configuration check box in the Administrative Permissions section is selected.
