    hi @Pete Renzulli

    make use of publicly hosted site or community so that without authentication you can get the data from external app to salesforce and it runs in guest user mode

I am attempting to run the GUAR from our Prod instance and it never finishes, and I have let it run for 8+ hours. No errors, just the dancing dots................

 

I have gone through all the other steps and it looks like we are secured just fine, so I was also wondering if I can somehow get Salesforce to STOP sending me emails, leaving VMs, etc... about securing the Guest User....

I'm currently receiving a message "https://... is down for maintenance

Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll be back shortly. Please email us if you need to get in touch." 

Is this correct?

Question on the Assign Records Created by Guest Users to a Default Owner, as a part of this do we also have to reassign any records which are currently owned by the Guest User, or just have newly created records assigned to the Default Owner?

I ran the GUAR report and was able to complete some of the recommendations. However w.r.t custom object "Profile Read Access" and "Profile Create access" - it says potential risk (yellow) as the Guest User profile has "Read" and "Create" access on that object.

 

As the Guest user needs to create records on the custom object as per the functionality, I assume we can ignore this and keep the object settings as is. All i understood is the Guest User should not have Edit access on the object. Can someone please advise?

Hi all you Experience Champions! I'm stuck on an issue and wanted to ask for help or guidance as I'm a new SCA and just trying to drink from the firehose as I'm completely new to experience cloud.

 

The client has a community support site, that seems to be functionally normally except for one thing...

The carousel slider that they have on the pages (showing customer testimonials) only appears when viewing as 'Authorized User' but not visible as 'Guest User'. I opened both pages in chrome and inspected to find that the carousel dimensions are identical and even include padding, but the object is only visible when viewing as 'Authorized User'.

 

My fresh admin skills tell me look at the visibility or permissions for the 'carousel' and 'carousel-slider' object and that only further complicates things as I'm forced to use a restricted admin profile that the client established.

 

I've read what feels like a million things that don't work... and I took advice of a wiser person to reference the release notes, but I've yet to catch anything there either. Apologies for the giant question, but I'm a transitioning veteran who is trying to workout some kind of solution. Any thoughts, advice, followups, or pointing in better directions would be most appreciated.

We have a VF email that is sent via guest user to our members to check a box to authorise an Owner Change. Since Spring'21 the email is sent, we can still see the page but the checkbox is now not available to be checked and then submitted - is there any workarounds that people may have that will fix our issue without a complete change of functionality?

The object that the check box updates is 'Controlled by Parent' and Sharing Rules can't be created for the object

    Sorry, i'm not understanding what you're describing here...what is the actual problem? the email not being sent? or the checkbox not being editable on a visualforce page? can you describe your solution and your problem a bit more?

Facing an issue where an after insert trigger is using a Visualforce Page email template and as the records are getting inserted by the guest user from a Visualforce Page hosted on sites, Email is not getting sent.Tried to even update the template with the tag  renderUsingSystemContextWithoutSharing="true".

Then also the email is not getting sent.

    Try to check that the guest user has the send email permission...or any other email-sending permissions that may be related.

    Other than this, I really don't have any suggestions as it's hard to figure out what's happening without an error message. Would recommend that you open a support case if the last suggestion does not get you any further.

Hello,

 

I have a custom profile center that we use with Marketing Cloud.  We have a link that goes to a salesforce site.  We pass the contactID to the VF site for reference later.   On the VF site, the guest user can check and uncheck boxes that are coming from the Contact record that matches the ContactID that we pass.  So they are basically editing their Contact record.  First we return the values of the checkboxes and display them, then we let the guest user edit them.  Finally we update the contact record so that the checkboxes are accurate.  

 

The check boxes are basically the lists that the user has subscribed to.  

 

So, this whole thing will break right?  We can't let guest users edit records now.  So now what?  I looked on this thread and saw some similar use cases, but none quite like this one.   

 

Are there any work arounds?  We don't want to have to host the preference center somewhere else, rebuild the whole thing, and make api calls to update the record.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. We got the opt out up until now, but it's going away very soon.
