No need for knowledge in HTML or coding \u2014 with just a few clicks, the platform is ready!<\/p>\n<p>Portals were created for partners and customers using Salesforce Admin tools. By customising URLs or choosing templates from those available on Salesforce, complete control over branding and functionality was achieved \u2014 providing real power in shaping their experiences.<\/p>\n<p>An initial challenge involved creating an unauthenticated site using Salesforce Admin tools. Navigating to Setup, searching &#8216;Experience&#8217;, clicking on All Sites, and choosing to &#8216;Build Your Own&#8217; enabled complete creative control and freedom to start designing a digital experience.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cloudfoundation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Community.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"2424\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Salesforce_Admin_Unauthorised_Community\"><\/span><strong>Salesforce Admin: Unauthorised Community<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the Salesforce Admin level, the responsibility included naming the site according to organisational needs and building its URL structure.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the user-friendly platform, naming was straightforward, as were layout configuration options, such as themes, colours, and components, with minimal technical headache.<\/p>\n<p>With Salesforce Admin capabilities, the Builder enabled quick personalisation of each page by inserting custom text, then editing colours and components as required before publishing the site for stakeholders to visit. These options made meeting stakeholder expectations easier than ever.<\/p>\n<p>To create an unauthenticated site, the checkbox under General Settings, entitled &#8216;Public Access&#8217;, was toggled. This allowed anyone who knew its URL to access it without signing in\u2014one reason being that a Salesforce Admin is so effective.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Salesforce_Admin_Site_Testing\"><\/span><strong>Salesforce Admin: Site Testing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once the website was configured and activated, its final URL was ready for testing and sharing with colleagues and users alike.<\/p>\n<p>Verification was done using an incognito browser window with no credentials necessary \u2014 seeing the Salesforce Admin work come alive was incredible.<\/p>\n<p>After testing was completed, the community was verified to be functioning effectively.

Experience with both unauthenticated and authenticated communities is crucial \u2014 this knowledge can make or break Salesforce admin duties.<\/p>\n<p>Unauthenticated access allows anyone with the community URL to view content \u2014 no username or password is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>It is ideal for sharing public-facing data without managing users. This model is beneficial when budgets are tight or rapid deployment is critical.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Salesforce_Admin_Community_Selection\"><\/span><strong>Salesforce Admin: Community Selection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One key decision facing Salesforce Administrators is selecting between authenticated and unauthenticated communities.<\/p>\n<p>When cost is a key consideration, unauthenticated communities emerge victorious: no additional user license purchases are needed \u2014 simply configure, publish, and share the URL.<\/p>\n<p>Organisations where budget determines decision-making often opt for this approach, as it helps meet budgetary demands without incurring further expense.<\/p>\n<p>Security is also a critical factor. When content or access requires restriction, authenticated communities offer the perfect solution \u2014 valid users with login credentials are created to ensure only authorised access is granted.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cloudfoundation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Security-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"879\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Salesforce_Admin_Unauthenticated_Community\"><\/span><strong>Salesforce Admin: Unauthenticated Community<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Accessing Experience <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudfoundation.com\/blog\/a-glimpse-of-salesforce-marketing-cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Cloud<\/strong><\/a> and clicking &#8216;All Sites&#8217; was the first step.
