Here are highlights from article How to Set Up Free API Only Integration Users | Salesforce Ben
1. Salesforce announced that most orgs would be granted five free licenses for integration users.
– This announcement has a direct impact on day-to-day jobs for admins and financial impact for companies.
– It reduces the cost for integration licenses and promotes best practice.
2. Many companies use separate tools that require a Salesforce user to be connected with Salesforce.

– Unlimited, Enterprise, and Performance Edition orgs get five free licenses.
– Additional licenses can be purchased for $10/user/month.
4. Steps to set up the integration user:
– Determine the permissions required by the integration tool.
– Decide on the email address and username for the integration user.
– Create a permission set with the correct license.
– Create the integration user with the Salesforce API Only System Integrations profile.

– Assign the permission set to the user.
5. Testing the integration user:
– Verify API access and the correct permissions before connecting the integration.
