"Portal Account Owner Has No Role"

error message goes on, "An account owner must be associated with a role to enable portal users or transfer portal users to his or her account."

 

I'm lost. I'm trying to setup website authenticated user access to a force.com site.  I am the only Enterprise user, all other users are guests or website authenticated.  I assume that I am the account owner, but I can't find the field that I need to change to make this work. I know someone will probably need more info than this to help, but don't know what else to provide. 

 

Please ask away!

 

thank you

Role is a standard field on the user object. Go to the owner of the account you're using (probably your admin user) and give that user a role. You can do this on the user setup page.

Thank you Ryan. Since I am currently the only user, I couldn't see how, or the point, to creating a role, but now it works.  Thank you.

This error message also gets displayed if you have an inactive user as the owner of the account (even if they have a role assigned). Though in practice you don't want accounts owned by inactive users.

I am 100% sure you can not do this (callouts after DML) because, in the past, I tried to do it but failed every time. If you found a way to do so, please don't forget to share the method with all of us here on this thread. It will be a significant input from your side for this community as well. Thank you!

This issue, for me, was tied to the Account Owner. It occurred when the Account Owner was an inactive user. Once I changed the account owner to an active user, I was able to successfully enable to the Contact record as a community user. (FWIW we have related contacts and accounts enabled.) Good Luck!
