For the Customer Acquisition Management application to support unauthenticated self-serve portal users, the correct configuration of permission sets is crucial. The EnergyRuntimeB2CSales sample permission set designed for Guest User profiles enables unauthenticated users to interact with necessary parts of the application without compromising security or functionality. Additionally, the EnergyRuntimeB2CSalesCustomerCommunityUser permission set provides authenticated community users with appropriate access rights, ensuring a seamless user experience across both authenticated and unauthenticated scenarios.
Reference = The setup and configuration of these permission sets are discussed in the Salesforce Energy and Utilities Cloud security and user management documentation, ensuring applications like Customer Acquisition Management are accessible yet secure.
