- A. Create Contact Records - All Partner Community users are linked to a Contact Record.
- B. Generate Partner Community User from Contact - Create Partner Community User record and credentials for mobile access.
- C. Set Passwords for each Partner Community User - If you would rather centralize password management for your Field Officers, you can set their initial passwords.
- D. Assign TaroWorks License to each Partner Community Users - In order for a Community site to be accessed by its members, and for your Field Officers to access the Salesforce back-end, the Community need to be published.

Note: If you do not see the Manage External User button, follow these instructions to add it to the page. - Enter the required fields. The username should be in the form of an email. Note: The Email field is where password communications will be sent to. This should be your email address if you would like to set this users initial password. You can always change this value in the future.

- Set Profile to TaroWorks Partner User.
- Check Salesforce CRM Content User.

- Sign out of Salesforce.
- Go to your email and open the email with the subject "Welcome to TaroWorks".
- Click the link sent in the email to set the Partner Community User password.
- Enter the password twice and click Save.
NOTE: Because the password is NOT visible once you have saved it, you should record it in a safe place. - Repeat steps 2-4 to set passwords for your new field officers.
D. Assign TaroWorks License to Partner Community Users
- Log back into your Salesforce instance as the administrator.
- Click Setup in top right corner.

Tips and Tricks:
- You can return here and remove licenses from inactive users and reassign them to others.
- You can change a Partner Community User username, but the user should be logged off first.
- You can only have one Partner Community User per contact.
- Unchecking the Active box stops that user from connecting to Salesforce.
