| | The ''Community Tenant'' supports features like [[Marketplace]] that can be shared by all users of an [[Installable Version]] instance, regardless of which tenancy they normally log into. |

| | |
| ==How it Works==
| |
| The [[ISV]] creates a new [[Tenant|Tenancy]], which serves as host to the Community. This Tenancy is managed via a login account, called the ''Community Admin''.
| |
| | |
| All new Users in all tenancies under a single [[ISV]] are automatically associated with the Community account. This provides single sign-on capability via the community user credentials.
| |
| | |
| If the Community Tenant is enabled ''in a tenancy with existing users'', additional steps must be taken to make the association.

| | |
| ==Configure a Community Tenant==
| |
| #Complete the following steps to create a ''Community User'' (Linked Community Username):
| |
| #:*Create a New Tenant
| |
| #:*Create a Community Application in that Tenant via [[Sites]]
| |
| #Enable [[Service_Provider_Settings#Community Site Configuration]]
| |
| | |
| ;Considerations:
| |
| :*Users added to the tenancies are automatically added as users in the Community to enable single sign-on access
| |
| ::*The [[ISV]] can login to the Community Tenant to see the list of site users
| |
| ::*The ''Community User'' associated with the Community Tenant is based on the [[Username]]:
| |
| :::For Username of <tt>john@domainname.com</tt>, the ''Community User'' is <tt>john@domainname.com.site</tt>
| |
| :*Users are automatically logged into the Community Tenant when they login to their tenancy
| |
| :*Users are automatically logged out from the Community Tenant when they log out from their tenancy
| |
| :: *If ISV is not planning to expose Community Tenant registration to the public unless they also register for tenancy, then the Community Tenant username will never by needed by users and they need not know about it.
| |
| :*In addition to [[Sites#Tags|Site Tags]], ISVs can use services available in the [[Community Resource]] in the [[REST API]] to develop additional functionality
| |
| | |
| ===Enabling a Community Tenant with Existing Users===
| |
| To add existing Users in existing tenancies to a Community Tenant, complete the following steps:
| |
| | |
| #Create a Registration [[Page]] in the Community Tenant
| |
| #Invite Existing Users to register using this page (send the link via [[Email]])
| |
| #After Users register, use the <tt>LINK_TO_COMMUNITY_LOGIN</tt> service to link the [[Username]] with the ''Community User''; Choose one of the following methods:
| |
| ::*Via [[Community Resource#Link_a_User_to_the_Community|Link a User to the Community]]
| |
| ::*Via the following service:
| |
| :::<tt>/networking/Service?s=243&a=link_to_community_login&community_login={COMMUNITY_LOGIN}&community_password={COMMUNITY_PASSWORD}</tt>
| |
| :::*This Service can only be invoked by Tenant users after they have logged into their tenancy
| |
| After any one of the services has been executed successfully, the [[Username]] and ''Community User'' are now connected. From this point forward, when the user logs in to their tenancy, they are automatically logged in to the Community Tenant.
| |
| | |
| ==Sync User Profile Information==
| |
| By default, the User Profile in the Community Tenant is automatically kept in sync with the user's Personal Setup Information, found in: [[My Information]].
| |
| | |
| The following fields are automatically synchronized:
| |
| :* First Name
| |
| :* Last name
| |
| :* Email
| |
| :* Street
| |
| :* City
| |
| :* State
| |
| :* Zip
| |
| :* Country
| |
| :* Company
| |
| :* Title
| |
| :* Division
| |
| :* Phone
| |
| :* Fax
| |
| :* Mobile
