URL is a Salesforce field data type that stores a web address as a clickable hyperlink - the field displays as a link on record pages, opens in a new tab when clicked, and stores the raw URL as text underneath.

Unlike a Text field with a URL inside, the URL field type renders as a live hyperlink without a formula.

A User in Salesforce is a standard object that represents an individual login account in the org - every person who signs into Salesforce has exactly one User record. The User object stores authentication and profile data including username, email, name, alias, time zone, locale, federation ID, and the assigned Profile that controls baseline permissions. Each User is also associated with a Role (for record sharing), one or more Permission Sets and Permission Set Groups (for additive access), a User License (which determines available features and pricing), and a manager (for hierarchy-based reporting and approvals). Users own records - almost every standard and custom object has an OwnerId field that references a User. Beyond standard logins, the User object also represents Customer Community Users, Partner Users, Guest Users, Site Users, Integration Users, and Automated Process Users, each tied to a specific User License type. Active User counts directly drive Salesforce billing, so admins must deactivate (not delete) departed users to free up licenses while preserving historical record ownership.
