The Portal Roles box in the system overview page shows the usage data and limit for total
partner portal, Customer Portal, and Communities roles. The system overview page displays a
message when your org reaches 95% of its allotted portal roles.

The default number of roles used in an org’s portals or communities is 50,000. This limit
includes roles associated with all of the org’s customer portals, partner portals, or
communities. To prevent unnecessary growth of this number, we recommend reviewing and reducing
the number of roles. If you’re expecting a high-volume of users, we recommend that you enable
account role optimization (ARO). It works by delaying the account role creation process until
there’s a second user and roles become necessary to support sharing data between them. You can
also delete unused roles.
Contact customer support to increase your number of roles. If you require 100,000 roles or
more, contact your Salesforce account representative.
