Assign a Default Experience to a User Profile

Assign a default experience to a user profile to associate that profile with a specific community, portal, or site. Any links in the notification lead back to the default experience—no more news from nowhere.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning communities, portals, and sites
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
User Permissions Needed
To assign a default experience to a user profile:

Chatter Enabled

AND

Create and Set Up Experiences

Assign a Default Experience value in Setup through Profiles.

  1. In Setup, enter Profiles in the Quick Find box, then click Profiles in your results.
  2. Click the name of the profile you want to change.
  3. In the Default Experience section, click Edit.
  4. Select an experience from the Experience list.
  5. Click Save.
    All members who are assigned the user role are associated with the selected default experience. When they receive email notifications about network-agnostic objects, like accounts, cases, leads, and opportunities, links in the notification emails lead back to the default experience. If the default experience is not assigned to a site, then notifications for internal users from network-agnostic objects default to the the internal org. When they receive their new-user email or notifications about password resets, links in those messages also lead back to their default experience.
