Note

• We recommend that you enable a user account with full administrative permissions to allow support staff to investigate the issue thoroughly without hindrance. 
• If the account used is restricted in scope and permission, then it is possible that you will be requested to provide additional information such as screenshots or replication steps, or data files, and any other content that they might be unable to view due to the restrictions of the account.
• Not having administrator permissions is likely to result in slower resolve time as well as your active participation in providing additional information.
• We recommend that you change the username and make sure username is complex. Please avoid using common usernames like admin, adminsf, sfadmin, csadmin, admincs, etc. for security reasons.
• We recommend you always set Time Bound Access.

• Support Access should not be provided in the text area of cases. Instead, they should be stored in the secure area.
• Please refer to section 1A of KBA 1773689 – How to add login credentials securely to an case, to follow the steps to maintain the secure area with the Support Access.
