How will the data import files impact the overall Salesforce onboarding process? What are the desired results of this task? Potential challenges may include data quality issues, such as missing or incorrect information. To address this, you can implement data validation rules and data cleansing processes before importing the data into Salesforce. Required resources: User data file, admin data file.

In this task, you will import the user and admin data files prepared in the previous task into Salesforce. This step is crucial to ensure that all the necessary user and administrator information is accurately recorded in Salesforce and that the system is properly configured for each individual. The data import process will streamline the user onboarding process and allow users to start using Salesforce effectively. What is the process for importing user and admin data into Salesforce?
