Community Rollout Strategy > Create Sharing Rules > Role Setup

I'm attempting to "Create a customer community user from Edna Frank's contact record."
I stuck at "An account owner must be associated with a role to enable portal users or transfer portal users to his or her account. " 

What step I'm I missing?

Hi,


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.

Hope this helps you!

If this helps you please mark it as solved.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I am not sure if you are still looking for an answer but the account owner of Contact "Edna Frank" doesn't have a role associated. In most cases, it will be you who will be the owner and your user record might be assicated with role.

Best,
