Hi, deactivate any users with User License = Salesforce Platform in the org that are not needed for the challenge. Now you should have the option for the new users.
Hi Everyone,
I have an Experience Cloud site where the users are using the Customer Community Plus license.
I have a requirement to create a new Customer Community Plus user from an LWC/Apex component. As part of the user creation process, I need to select the appropriate Customer Community Plus Profile.
To populate the Profile selection, I need to fetch the available Profiles from the org using Apex.
I tried the following SOQL:
List<Profile> profiles = [
SELECT Id, Name
FROM Profile
];
However, when this code executes in the context of a Customer Community Plus user, I receive the following error:
sObject type 'Profile' is not supported
I also understand that Experience Cloud users have restrictions on accessing certain standard objects.
My questions are:
My requirement is specifically:
Existing Customer Community Plus user → LWC/Apex → Create a new Customer Community Plus user → Select the appropriate Customer Community Plus Profile
Any guidance or recommended approach would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I am getting this below error when I use Site.createExternalUser() .
common.apex.runtime.impl.ExecutionException: [You are already logged in.]
Please suggest
Is there a way to either (1) choose a profile and see a list of all the objects and the corresponding Lightning page assignments for this profile and/or (2) look at an object and see all the Lightning page assignments for an app for each profile?
#Lightning App Builder #Profiles
Hi Rachel,
Confirming the object-level view: Object Manager > [Object] > Lightning Record Pages > Page Assignments shows every profile/app/record-type combination and which page each one gets — that's the closest native equivalent to your #2 ask.
For #1 (profile → all objects/pages), there's no native single screen for that. Options if you need it regularly:
1. Query it via Tooling API — FlexiPage and FlexiPagePageAssignment objects hold this data; a nightly export/report could reconstruct a profile-centric view for you.
2. Metadata-based approach — retrieve all FlexiPage metadata via VS Code/CLI and grep for a specific profile name across the assignment XML — faster than clicking through Object Manager one object at a time if you have many objects.
3. AppExchange tools — several free/paid metadata-dictionary apps (e.g., Elements.cloud, Metazoa) can generate cross-referenced reports like "profile → pages → objects" without manual digging.
Reference:
https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.lightning_page_assign_profiles.htm&language=en_US&type=5Trailblazer Profile editing is currently not working for me.
When I open Edit Profile, the required fields Role and Relationship to Salesforce already contain valid selected values, but both fields are highlighted in red and Salesforce displays “This field is required.”
Re-selecting the existing values or choosing different values does not resolve the validation error. Because of this, I cannot save any changes to my profile, including my title and Short Bio.
The profile editor has also become unstable: while entering or changing text, characters sometimes behave unexpectedly and the edit window can close or reset.
Expected behavior: existing or newly selected values should be accepted and profile changes should save normally.
Actual behavior: the two required dropdown fields are treated as empty even though values are visibly selected, preventing all profile updates.
I have screenshots showing the validation errors. Is this a known Trailblazer Profile issue, and is there a workaround or a way to have the profile data corrected?

There can be a random compatibility issue as the maintenance goes on the backend. So please give it a try.
So a question for you that have moved permissions from Profiles to Permission sets, how did you handle Global Actions? Since Global actions rely on the Global Publisher Layout and that is only by Profile, how did you handle situations where some users needed to see global actions and others did not?
#Nonprofit #Salesforce Admin #Permissionset #Profiles
@Edward Elliott I am leaning toward a limited set of Profiles, to handle global and in a very specific use case, default record types. In most cases, as you mention Permission Sets, flows, etc can handle everything. But there are some use cases, at least for us, that mean I will need to look at having at least 2 if not 3 profiles, just for that. Still far less than what we have now.
Hello - I am a solo admin for a nonprofit and I am starting the journey of migrating from Profiles to Permission Sets. I have been doing some research and talking with others, watching presentations, and more. So at a high level, things are making sense. However......I am also trying to determine what are the main things that are important and what is just "noise".
For example, I am doing some comparisons of the profiles and I am also just reviewing what access each profile has, not what is just different but do I have profiles that have access to object and fields that they should not have (or do not use).
I am using the Elements app to help with this and one thing I noticed is that in some cases, even if a person has a Profile called "Coach" for example and that Profile does NOT have access to a specific Object, like "Opportunities" they are showing that they DO have access to a number of fields in the Opportunity Object.
Now, I know that since they don't have access at the Object level they can't view those fields. But my question is Do I need to make sure that I remove the field level access on the "Coach" profile and another other profiles that were cloned off that? Or just leave it as is and just focus more at the overall Object level?
Again, just trying to determine how much clean up (or pre work) I need to do.
I should mention that our org has been using SF since 2009 and I was not here, so I really don't know what they did to make a number of the profiles or specifically what base profile they cloned a lot of what I am dealing with now.
Anyway, any insight/advise is appreciated.

Hi @Heath Parks
I have recently done this process myself.
I would recommend clearing out what they don't need access too, as going forward it will make things clearer and easier for you.
You do also have a couple tools you could use to make this process easier.
1st tool is PermComparator which is a Heroku app that lets you compare user's access.
2nd is an app I have installed in my org called 'User Access & Permissions Helper' from the AppExchange.
This wonderful app allows you to convert existing profiles into permissions sets at a click of a button.
Hope this helps :)
I'm on a project that's at the beginning stages of building an Org that will ultimately have a large number of users whose access rights will vary greatly by user function/role.
The current design is to use only 1 or 2 Profiles, and manage all of the access needs via Permission Sets and Public Groups. Is this a recommended approach?
My concern is that certain features which are dependent on Profiles - like Field-Level Security, Record Types, etc - don't support using Perm Sets and Pub Groups.
Is there a best practice for determining how many Profiles an org needs, out of the gates, versus Perm Sets and Public Groups? (FYI, the current design is to not use the OOTB Role Hierarchy either...in case that impacts this decision)
Thanks, in advance!

🌟 Salesforce is moving its permissions from Profiles to Permission Sets – and this shift brings great flexibility for admins! 🚀
But here’s an idea I’ve been thinking about to make permission management even more powerful:
🔧 Future Enhancement Idea:
It would be amazing if Salesforce allowed admins to view all users assigned to a Permission Set and edit CRUD permissions (Create, Read, Edit, Delete) for each user within that set! Currently, we can see Permission Sets assigned to users, but we can’t easily adjust individual user permissions from within that set.
✅ Why this would help:
Not sure if this is a great idea or not – I’d love to hear your thoughts on it! Is this something you think would improve Salesforce admin workflows? 💡
Hi Team, I would like to make the Service Console custom app as a default for some profile in SF. I followed the below steps but when I tried login as other user I still can landed in 'Sales' cloud app.
Please let me know If I am missing something.
#Sales Cloud #Service Cloud #Permissionset #Profiles #Salesforce Admin
I feel there's quite the current gap here in that this only be done at the profile level. Anyone visiting this in the future, please upvote and comment your use cases on this idea:
I'm trying to disable the 'Edit Read Only Fields' system permission on a custom profile.
However, I encounter this error trying to complete the Save:
The user license doesn't allow the permission: FreezeUsers
That's really odd. I think I saw a couple other posts on here in the last couple of days that mentioned a similar error with FreezeUsers since Summer 24 release.
Hate to say it, but I think this calls for opening a Case with Salesforce.
