Clone User in Salesforce
I need to create sample of users to test one of the application.It is TEDIOUS to do data entry one by one.If two still okay for me, if five ...ten...better I start Googling.
Heh...although I know the Clone feature is exist in Salesforce but I just found out that for User there is no Clone feature directly.There work around to Clone it.Someone posted an idea for Clone User, please vote it if you feel it is useful for you.I voted it already =)

Once you vote it, don't forget to read the comments.You'll be surprise a lot of suggestion of workarounds there.The entry that I wrote today was my experiment based on the workaround suggested.
In order to make Clone User feature , just follow the step below:
1 - Go to Setup --> App Setup --> Customize --> Users. Add Custom Links as below.
Don't forget to Save.
2-Add this new Custom Link at User Layout.Again don't forget to Save.
3-Now you can go and check the Custom Link at the User page.
4- You click that link, fill in necessary fields and Save.The UI is similar like below.
However I still hope that Salesforce will provide Standard button to clone the user.
For this time being, this workaround is SAVING my day. =)
