2. Click a Lightning site template, for example, Partner Central (Enhanced), and then on the template detail page, click Get Started.

After you select profiles, all users associated with those profiles have login access to the community.

6. On the Contact Detail page for the newly created Contact, click Manage External User > Enable Partner User, and then create a new partner user.
