GoMeddo Experience Cloud for unauthenticated Guest Users
This article describes the configuration steps and most strict Sharing Settings required for GoMeddo to function correctly in a Experience Cloud site which is used by unauthenticated Guest users.
Keep in mind that GoMeddo is a native Salesforce application built with custom objects. This means you will need to follow Salesforce best practices around object sharing and permissions. This article tries to touch upon the most common requirements, but these may differ from what your use case needs.
With the Winter ’21 release, Salesforce is disabling the View All, Modify All, edit, and delete object permissions for guest users in existing orgs. This means that when using GoMeddo functionality, they will only be able to create reservations, not reschedule or cancel them, which would be an edit.
1. Create Experience Cloud site for Guest user
Create an Experience Cloud site and make sure it’s accessible to Guest users
2. Create and assign Permission set & License
Assign the GoMeddo Experience Cloud Guest User permission set to the Guest User corresponding to your Experience Cloud site. You can acces this as follows:
Go to your site’s Builder
Click on Settings
In General click on the Guest User Profile
Click on Assigned Users
Click on the user name under Full Name
Scroll to Permission Set Assignments and assign the GoMeddo Experience Cloud Guest User permission set.
