# Assign a Default Experience to a User Profile

Assign a default experience to a user profile to associate that profile with a specific community, portal, or site. Any links in the notification lead back to the default experience—no more news from nowhere.

Assign a **Default Experience** value in Setup through Profiles.

1. In Setup, enter Profiles in the Quick Find box, then click **Profiles** in your results.
2. Click the name of the profile you want to change.
3. In the Default Experience section, click **Edit**.
4. Select an experience from the **Experience** list.
5. Click **Save**.
    
    All members who are assigned the user role are associated with the selected default experience. When they receive email notifications about network-agnostic objects, like accounts, cases, leads, and opportunities, links in the notification emails lead back to the default experience. If the default experience is not assigned to a site, then notifications for internal users from network-agnostic objects default to the the internal org. When they receive their new-user email or notifications about password resets, links in those messages also lead back to their default experience.
