What happens to user information upon sandbox creation?

1. The sandbox name is appended to the username

2. If the resulting username is not unique, a second modification occurs

3. User email addresses are never modified in your sandbox

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

When a sandbox is created in Salesforce, several modifications occur to user information to maintain uniqueness and ensure proper functioning within the sandbox environment. Firstly, the sandbox name is appended to the existing username. This is an important step because it differentiates the sandbox user from the production user, preventing any potential conflict between user accounts in the two environments. Secondly, if appending the sandbox name to a username results in a conflict (i.e., the modified username is not unique), Salesforce will further modify the username to ensure it is unique. This prevents any issues that could arise from having two users with the same username, which could hinder access and usage of the sandbox. Lastly, user email addresses are generally not modified during the sandbox creation process. Retaining the same email addresses helps ensure that users can continue to receive notifications and communications as they would in the production environment. This approach allows users to continue using their email accounts without confusion or disruption, albeit in the sandbox context. Thus, all these conditions collectively describe the comprehensive changes that occur during sandbox creation, justifying the selection of this answer.
