Overview
Cloudingo offers multi-user logins with Professional or Enterprise-level licenses, which allows for multiple Cloudingo and/or multiple Salesforce connections for security and auditing purposes. Users can be assigned roles that determine access to different areas and functions within the application. Cloudingo also offers audit tracking for better management.
The Cloudingo administrator is responsible for setting up and maintaining all additional users and controlling access to different areas of the application. New users will receive an email with instructions on how to activate and log in with their credentials.
Navigation
