Customer portal in force.com

Hi, 

 

Is it possible to create customer portal user without linking them with Account or Contact? I have custom object which will be source information for that user. Basically I have created several custom objects for capturing student prospective and applicants, and I want to create customer portal user based on the applicants information.

 

I  am new in force.com and have no experience in Salesforce CRM; I am trying to create custom application in force.com which don't rely on any CRM objects.

Contacts and Accounts needs to be associated with customer portal user. There is no other way around.

I guess you cannot do that for custom objects since you don't have the ability to enable portal for custom objects

Hi, 

 

I checked the 'available for customer portal' during the object creation, I thought that will enable my custom object to be enabled  in the customer portal?
