Set Up a Demo Profile for End Users

For Headless Identity, you use profiles to define how your end users access data in Salesforce. New users are automatically assigned to this profile when they register. Create a demo profile so that you can test your headless login, registration, forgot password, and single sign-on processes as an end user.
Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Instead of creating a new profile, you can clone an existing standard profile to get all of its preconfigured permissions and access settings. You can then customize the profile as needed. Because you use an Experience Cloud site to call Headless Identity APIs and store user data, your end users must be able to access Experience Cloud. We recommend cloning only these standard profiles so that users can log in via an Experience Cloud site.

  • Customer Community User
  • Customer Community Plus User
  • External Identity User
  • Partner Community User
  • Partner User

For this example, we clone the Customer Community User profile.

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Profiles, and then select Profiles.
  2. From the profile list, select the checkbox next to Customer Community User.
  3. Click Clone.
  4. Name the profile Headless Demo Profile.
  5. Save your changes.
