Next conceptFinding site user records with global search

Explainer

Every external user who logs in to an Experience Cloud site needs a profile, and that profile assigns their Experience Cloud user license and base permissions. Salesforce provides a standard external profile for each external license type, but by default it blocks creating site users with those standard profiles. The recommended approach is to clone the standard external profile and give the clone only the permissions and settings that the site needs.
Core information
  • Every site user needs a Salesforce record, either a person account or a contact on a customer or partner business account. The contact is then enabled as a customer or partner user. Each of these users must have an Experience Cloud user license, and user licenses are assigned using profiles.
More details and nuances
  • The Digital Experiences setting "Allow using standard external profiles for self-registration, user creation, and login" removes the default block and lets external users self-register and log in with the default external profile. Even with this setting on, Salesforce best practice is to clone the default profile and add all needed permissions to the clone. Changing Digital Experiences settings requires the Customize Application permission.
