Set up sharing sets to define how your users access the grants portal.

- **[Give Access to Submit Applications](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.gm_give_users_access.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    To submit an application, grantseekers need Read access to their User record in order to transfer ownership from the site user to a default internal user. This allows grantseekers to view their submitted application.

Note Every org is unique, and giving Public Read Only access on the User object’s default external access may expose fields and data you otherwise would not want visible to site users. We recommend testing in a Sandbox org first.
