An authenticated portal user is a member who logs in to your Experience Cloud site with their own credentials. You enable one the standard Salesforce way — turn a Contact into a customer user — then assign the fusionCore portal permissions. fusionCore recognizes the logged-in member at runtime and tailors its components to them; the profile sections, for example, show that member's own Account and Contact data. ## Prerequisites * A portal site already created — see [Setting up a Portal Site](/end-user-guides/portal/setting-up-a-portal-site). * The Contact you are enabling has an Account. * Your own user has a role assigned (required to create a customer user). ## How to Enable a Portal User On the Contact record, click **Enable Customer User**. A Contact record with the Enable Customer User action highlighted Review the **New User Information**, then click **Save**. The user creating the customer user must have a role assigned. Without one, Salesforce throws an error and the save fails. The New User Information page for a community user In **Setup**, search for **Users** in the Quick Find box and select it. Click the new community user, then assign the **`fusionCore - Portal User`** permission set group. Delivered by the fusionCore Layouts package, this group bundles the member-facing portal permission sets — My Orders, My Profile, My Subscriptions, Checkout, Installments, Cancel/Renew/Manage Subscription, My Wallet, Payment Confirmation, and roster access — so a member gets everything they need from a single assignment rather than from individual permission sets. The user detail page in Setup Assigning the fusionCore - Portal User permission set group to the user To assign portal permissions to many users at once, use [User Access Policies](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_enable_access_policy.htm\&language=en_US\&type=5). ## Limitations and Common Pitfalls * **Your own user needs a role before creating customer users.** If the running user has no role assigned, the customer user save fails with an error. Assign a role first. * **A portal user with no permission set group sees little.** The `fusionCore - Portal User` permission set group grants the access the portal components rely on. Assign it, or the member's profile and other portal pages will not load correctly.
