Shadab Khatib App for an Organisation
I know how to develop and deploy a Salesforce app but I am still a bit sketchy about some aspects.
I am developing an application which has certain user previlages for certain users. (Can this be achieved?)
Can different users have different user screens according to the previlages?
I am developing an application which has certain user previlages for certain users. (Can this be achieved?)
Can different users have different user screens according to the previlages?
- I have observed there are certain tabs like Dashboard under the Apps. Can these be kept hidden from the users for lesser confusion?
- Can these applications be via an extension to the organisation's url itself instead of salesforce? If "NO", Why? Can someone please explain?
- Does anyone who would like to use the application from my organisation have a Salesforce account? If "YES" what type of Salesforce account would that be?
- To use the app,if someone accesses the link where the app is hosted, Should the user be complusarily logged into their Salesforce Account?

In connection to this answer:
I am a developer, I will not be a part of this organisation forever, so whose account should be used to create a user? My account or the organisation's account.
If "organisation's account", then can the salesforce app be linked to "multiple accounts" or handled control over to some other account in any way?
I have not seen any monetary aspect even for the developer account in Salesforce.
Does it cost to the organisation or to me in any way on the monetary aspect for using Salesforce to develop and host an app?
Can the app be hosted on localhost? (i.e. organisation's own server)
Thank you for selecting my answer as the "Best Answer"
For your next question, just wanted to inform you that :-
1:- User is an Object in salesforce Org.
2:- Any user who have the "create" permission on user object under their profile can create the Users in your Org.
Thanks.
