Enable Self-Service for Contacts and Person Accounts
To provide access to your Self-Service portal, enable Self-Service for a
customer’s contact or person account record. A Self-Service user can view cases in the
Self-Service portal only if they’re associated with the user’s account record.
Required Editions
Available in: Salesforce Classic
Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance,
Unlimited, and Developer Editions
User Permissions
Needed
To enable Self-Service users:
Edit Self-Service Users
Note Starting with Spring ’12, the Self-Service portal isn’t available for new
Salesforce orgs. Existing orgs continue to have access to the Self-Service portal.
From the contact or person account detail page, click Enable
Self-Service.
Verify the general information and locale settings, and enter any missing information. The
customer’s Self-Service Username defaults to the customer’s
Email.
To enable the customer as a Self-Service super user, select the Super
User checkbox. Super users can view case information, add comments, and upload
attachments for all cases that anyone in their company submits.
To email a Self-Service username and password to the customer, select
Generate new password and notify user immediately.
Click Save.
