 User:

• who logs in to Salesforce. 
• Users are employees at your company, such as sales reps, managers, and IT specialists, who need access to the company's records.

Each user account contains at least the following:

• Email Address
• User First Name & Last Name
• License
• Profile
• Role(optional)

Username: 

• The username must be formatted like an email address.
• Must be unique across all Salesforce organizations. 
• It can be the user's email address, so long as it is unique.

User License: A user license determines which features the user can access in Salesforce.

Profiles: Profiles determine what users can do in Salesforce.

Roles: 

• determine what users can see in Salesforce based hierarchy. 
• Users at the top of the hierarchy can see all the data owned by users below them. 
• Users at lower levels can't see data owned by users above them, or in other branches unless sharing rules grant them access. 
• Roles are optional and each user can have only one.

Alias: 

• An alias is a short name to identify the user. 
• By default, the alias is the first letter of the user's first name and the first four letters of their last name.

Password: Users must change their password the first time they log in.
