What does a Salesforce Admin do?

A Salesforce Admin manages and maintains your Salesforce platform—handling user setup, data quality, automation, reporting, and system optimisation to ensure your business runs smoothly.

What’s the difference between Salesforce Admin services and Managed Services?

Salesforce Admin Services focus on day-to-day support such as user management, reports, automation, and system maintenance.
