Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Set Up an Experience Cloud Site for Headless Identity

Because Headless Identity APIs are exposed through Experience Cloud, creating a site is a crucial part of configuring Headless Identity.
Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Through your Experience Cloud site, you control enablement and access for headless flows, including your site membership. You also control security settings for the Headless Registration Flow and Headless Forgot Password Flow.

If you already have an Experience Cloud site, we still recommend creating a new one for this example.
