          Chatter Customers in Private Groups

          Chatter Customers in Private Groups

          Chatter customers are people outside your company's email domains. Customers can see only the groups they're invited to. They can interact only with members of those groups. Customers can’t see any Salesforce information.

          Required Editions

          Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
          Available in: Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer, and Contact Manager Editions

          Chatter customers:

          • Can be added to Chatter only if:
            • A manager or owner of a group that allows customers invites them to the group.
            • An administrator adds them in Setup by entering Users in the Quick Find box, then selecting Users.
          • Can see only:
            • Groups they belong to.
            • People in groups they belong to. Customers see only limited profiles. In a profile, they see photo, name, title, email, common group memberships, common files, and activity statistics and influence. They can't post to profiles.
            • Files shared to groups that they belong to.
          • Can't see:
            • Records or other Salesforce information, even in search results.
            • Topics, including topics in the feed, the topics list, topic detail pages, Recently Talked About, and Trending Topics. (Customers can see hashtag (#) topics.)
            • Recommendations and can't be recommended to others. Groups that allow customers can't be recommended.
          • Are identified as customers in profiles and in the groups they belong to. You can identify customers and groups with customers by the orange upper left corner of their photo.
          • Have limited profiles that include name, photo, title, company, email, feed, group membership, file ownership, and activity statistics and influence.
          • Can't be followed. Customers can't follow people or files.
          • Can be group members and managers. If the customer is a manager, they can see users who request to join the group, even if they aren't in other common groups. And they can approve requests.
          • Can't own, create, delete, moderate, join, or ask to join groups.
          • Can invite people that they're in common groups with to join groups that they manage.
          • Can't invite people inside your company's domain whose profiles they can't see.

          Considerations for Mobile Users

          Chatter customers can log in and use the Salesforce mobile app. The same restrictions are applied to customer users as when using Chatter on the web.
