This topic covers permissions for the human users who interact with the agent—Community users (external grant seekers) and Platform users (internal staff). It doesn’t cover the agent user (bot). The agent user's permission sets are configured as part of the initial agent setup. See Set Up the Applicant and Grantee Support Agent.
The Grantmaking Experience Cloud site supports two types of human users:
- Community users hold a Customer Community Plus license and access the agent as external grantseekers through the Experience Cloud site. Community users are created when grantseekers self-register on your site. Complete Configure the Experience Site for the Applicant and Grantee Support Agent before assigning permissions to Community users.
- Platform users hold a Salesforce Platform license and access the agent as internal staff through the Experience Cloud site. Platform users must already exist as Salesforce Platform license holders in your org before you can assign permissions to them.
Access to the agent's content retrievers works differently depending on user type. Community users require a Data Cloud governance policy to reach the retriever data model objects that were tagged in Create a Document Library for the Applicant and Grantee Support Agent and Create a Knowledge Article Library for the Applicant and Grantee Support Agent. Platform users are covered automatically by Salesforce's default All Data Access ruleset policy and don't require extra data configuration.
For a full list of all permission sets used by the Applicant and Grantee Support Agent, see Applicant and Grantee Support Agent Requirements.
-
Create a Data Cloud governance policy to grant external users access to the
retrievers.
This step is required for Community users. It creates a Data Access policy that allows authenticated external users to query the retriever data model objects you tagged when setting up your content libraries.
- From the App Launcher, open Data Cloud and click Data Governance.
- In the left panel, select Policies, then click New.
- Select Data Access and click Next.
-
Enter a name for the policy, set Authorization Level to Authenticated
External User, and click Next.
Note If the Authorization Level field isn't visible, your org may be missing a required Data Cloud license or the Data Cloud Governance feature may not be fully provisioned. Confirm that the required licenses are provisioned in your org. See Applicant and Grantee Support Agent Requirements. -
