    Hi All,

    I have 22 users in my CRM 2013 online instance. The value in the Created By field is "SYSTEM" for 7 users and for remaining  users there is no value in Created By field. What does it mean?

    Thanks,

    Phani.

    Hi Phani

    For me, this type of value usually means something has happened automatically.  The types of activity that cause this could be:

    • Upgrading from a previous version of CRM
    • Having a workflow or Plugin run when a User is created, and the account it runs under is a System user
    • Having users added to CRM by your Office 365 Administrator who uses a System account
    • Perhaps moving data centres or hosting (not sure about this one...)

    If you were On-Premises, it could also be caused by connecting a CRM database to CRM on a new server.

    Unless you are concerned about an unauthorised CRM User being added, it isn't a great concern.  Still, you may want to review the Security Roles of your users, just for peace of mind.

    Good luck!
