# Control User Access to Your Experience Cloud Site

Set your Experience Cloud site’s profile to control customer and partner access. The external identity profile enables single sign-on access to your site.

After you add the external identity profile, all customers and partners assigned to that profile become members of the site. You can also assign new users to the profile when they sign up.

1. If you haven’t already done so, clone and customize the external identity profile as described in [Control Authorization with Custom Profiles and Roles](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.external_identity_set_up_profiles.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
2. Set up site membership from the Members page of the Administration workspace.
    
    1. From Setup, enter Digital Experiences in the Quick Find box, select **All Sites**, and click **Workspaces** next to your site.
    2. Select **Members**.
    3. From the search list, select **All**.
    4. From the list of available profiles, locate the Customers profile that you created earlier, and click **Add** to add it to the selected profiles.
    5. Click **Save**.
    
    Salesforce updates the membership for your Experience Cloud site. When done, Salesforce sends an email to your site members.

    Note If you prefer, you can control user access using permission sets.
