If you want to access User license field which determines the type of license that user is on(ex: Salesforce, Salesforce Platform etc), you can access it in apex as follows:

User.Profile.UserLicense.Name

Suppose, you want to create a validation rule in User object to make a custom field mandatory based on the license, it could be as follows,substitute Customfield with the actual field name(API name):

AND(ISNEW(),ISBLANK(Customfield), OR(Profile.UserLicense.Name=’Salesforce’,Profile.UserLicense.Name=’Salesforce Platform’)

salesforce admin certification

I cleared my Salesforce Admin certification(WI16) last week and here are few tips from my side to prepare for the exam:

I used salesforce-qa document, which I got it when I googled to find out the study materials for the exam and it covers the topics given in the study guide (except SalesforceA and Salesforce1, interestingly I didn’t get any questions from those topics).
Then, I started going through the questions given in the site from Part 1-Part 10 and there are about 1000 questions. I didn’t get majority of these questions on my exam though from these dumps, it has helped me to understand the nature of questions that can be asked for the exam. I have got around 20 questions from these dumps.
After finishing the exam, I found out this Admin-201-Certified-Administrator-notes which is gud too.

Here is the study guide and let me know if you have any questions about the exam.

P.S: Recently, I have gone through this post http://www.merivisblog.com/study-salesforce-admin-exam/ and thought of sharing it, as it could be useful to pass the exam.

There is a nice article by Ben on how to pass your Salesforce certification and here is the link
