Rethink User Profile Types
Updated over 2 months ago

Rethink is designed to support a team environment and be customizable for your specific needs. Depending on your data sharing preferences, Rethink can be configured to broadly share data between brokers, or carefully restrict access.

To support this, Rethink is built around three different types of users:

  1. System Administrators

  2. Rethink Advanced Users

  3. Rethink Standard Users

System Administrator

Admins have very special permissions. In addition to having full access to all user records and data in the system, they manage things like user accounts, sharing rules, objects, workflows, validation rules, reports, and more.

Admins are planners, problem-solvers, and heroes - please review this article to learn more about their role and responsibilities. All Rethink organizations have at least one administrator. Your administrator’s role can be as simple or as complex as your organization's size and structure. Below are just a few examples of what system administrators do in Rethink:

  • Create custom fields and page layouts

  • View and modify all records in the database

  • Create custom workflows

  • Develop custom report types

  • Create custom permissions and sharing rules

  • Answer questions about your own or others’ access to records.

  • Install applications from the AppExchange

A special license type called 'Salesforce' is required to set up a user as a system administrator. The standard 'Salesforce Platform' broker license will not suffice.

Note, Salesforce enforces a limit of 1 system administrator for every 50 users.

Rethink Advanced User

With the exception of Deal Pipeline records, Rethink Advanced Users can Read, Create, Edit, Delete, and View All records in the database (records they own, and records other users own).

For Deal Pipeline records, these users have view access by default but not modify access.

This profile type requires a 'Salesforce Platform' license.

Rethink Standard User

Rethink Standard Users can Read, Create, Edit, and Delete records they own (create). This profile will ensure privacy amongst users as it will not allow viewing or editing of other users' deals, contacts, etc.

This profile type requires a 'Salesforce Platform' license.
