# Set Up Site.com Users

First, review the [Site.com feature table](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_features.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 ">Site.com Studio features vary depending on feature license, user role, and permissions.") for detailed information on the feature license, permissions, and role required for each user.

After you’ve determined the appropriate access level required:

1. Allocate a feature license to the user by editing the user’s profile. To allocate:
    
    - A Site.com Publisher feature license, select the **Site.com Publisher User** checkbox.
    - A Site.com Contributor feature license, select the **Site.com Contributor User** checkbox.
    
    After you allocate a feature license, users can access Site.com in the Lightning Platform app menu in the Salesforce header.

    Note If the checkboxes don't appear, verify that Site.com is enabled for your organization. See [About Site.com Feature Licenses](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_perm_license_about.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To access Site.com, each user in your organization must have a Site.com feature license.").
2. Ensure the View Setup and Configuration permission is enabled. All users who create or edit websites in Site.com Studio need this permission.
3. Additionally, ensure that at least one user in your organization has both a Site.com feature license and the Manage Users permission. This way, someone can always reallocate user roles if a site’s users are accidentally deleted.
    
    ![Warning](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/images/icon_warning.png)
    
    Warning The Manage Users permission is powerful. It allows a user to manage all other users in your organization and not just Site.com.
4. [Add users and assign user roles](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_perm_roles_manage.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "After you create a site, you can add other users and assign roles to them.") within a site. (When a user with the Site.com Publisher feature license creates a site, the user is automatically allocated the role of site administrator at the site level.)

The feature license, permissions, and user role all determine what a user can do in each site. For example, to create an administrative user who can manage all sites in your organization, assign a Publisher feature license and assign the role of site administrator at the site level.

For users who need only limited access to edit site content, but no administrative access, assign a Contributor feature license and a contributor role at the site level.

Alternatively, to create a user who can manage roles in a site, but without the ability to publish, assign a Publisher feature license, the Manage Users permission, and the designer role at the site level.

Note Any records created by unauthenticated guest users via a Site.com Site has the Site Guest User as the record's owner. Each site has one Site Guest User.
