What is the Admin Playground?

The Admin playground is a trial edition of Salesforce built just for Admins! Why should developers have all the fun? The Admin Playground is a FREE Salesforce Trial org for you to play around in – try new features, experiment with the AppExchange, and test different modifications. The Admin Playground is the best way for you, as an Admin, to practice building in Salesforce and learn without making changes to your production or sandbox orgs.

How is it different than a Developer Edition (DE) org?

Right now, Admin Playground and DE orgs look the same but have different names. Soon, Admin Playground orgs will have special walkthroughs and customizations that are especially geared towards Admins, so stay tuned!

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada! Admin Playgrounds are free! All you have to do is sign up here.

Can I use it for Trailhead?

Absolutely! When you are taking a challenge, simply click “Launch Developer Edition” and log in with your Admin Playground credentials to link up your Admin Playground and earn points & badges. Trailhead is our fun, online learning tool that allows you to choose your own path to master Salesforce by going through 15-30min modules, earning points and badges along the way by completing challenges. Now you can take those challenges in your very own Admin Playground org! What are you waiting for? Go get your own Admin Playground TODAY!
