Considerations before and after doing a Sandbox refresh using the Production environment as source
Hi all, I hope someone can give us here tips as I could not find in any Salesforce documentation how to deal consistently with this Salesforce issue.
Currently, following a sandbox refresh, the email address is changed and appended with @example.com for all users except the user that initiates the Sandbox refresh. It would be helpful to have it change for all users EXCEPT System Administrators. It becomes challenging to manage sandboxes when not all System Administrators remember their password from the time it was refreshed. This would allow them to easily reset their password when needed and log into any Sandbox for their org.
How do you deal with this? which are best practices? is there a workaround?. Comments will be appreciated.

Greetings to you!
Yes, you are right. It is an idea posted on idea exchange. You can also upvote this idea.
However, you can create an Apex code which picks up the users and you can change whatever you want.
