# Object-Specific Security Best Practices for Guest Users

After you configure the guest user profile and the site guest user record, keep object-specific best practices in mind for guest user access.

- **[Chatter and Discussions Best Practices and Considerations for Guest Users](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.networks_chatter_best_practices.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Turning on Chatter for Experience Cloud sites enables discussions among your users. Keep these best practices and considerations in mind when you’re setting up Chatter and discussions.
- **[Files Best Practices and Considerations for Guest Users](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.networks_files_best_practices.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    To view a file on a record, Experience Cloud site users need access to the record, and record file visibility must allow site users. Use the Customer Access switch on a file’s sharing detail page to allow customers to see individual files on records. Files shared with users, Chatter groups, and topics follow the same sharing model as the objects that the files are shared on. Files in Libraries can be exposed to site users, but the user must be added as a member of the library.
