Experience Cloud Scenario Questions test how you build safe, useful sites for customers and partners. This is Post 8 of our scenario series, with real problems on site setup, external users, sharing, guest access, login and site support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each scenario matches a topic from Experience Cloud Interview Questions<\/a>. Our Experience Cloud sites guide<\/a> shows the basic setup, and the sharing guide<\/a> explains the access model behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Use These Experience Cloud Scenario Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Answer every scenario in four short steps. First, repeat the problem in your own words. Next, say what you would check. Then name the exact feature or setting you would use, and say why. Finally, explain how you would test the fix with a real user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience Cloud Scenario Questions on Site Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Study with Experience Cloud Sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A company wants a help centre where customers search articles and log cases. Which template and features do you choose?<\/li>\n\n
  2. Marketing wants the site to match the company brand colours and logo. What do you change?<\/li>\n\n
  3. The site must be ready in three languages. How do you plan it?<\/li>\n\n
  4. Leaders want a members area and a public area on the same site. How do you design it?<\/li>\n\n
  5. A new page must show only to logged-in partners. How do you set page visibility?<\/li>\n\n
  6. The site must go live next week, but it is still in preview. What do you check before you publish?<\/li>\n\n
  7. Two business units want two different sites. When do you build two sites instead of one?<\/li>\n\n
  8. The site needs a custom domain instead of the default URL. What steps do you take?<\/li>\n\n
  9. A customer wants to see their open orders on the home page. How do you add it?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    A good answer starts with who will use the site and what they must do. Then name the template, the pages and how you would test as a real external user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    External Users and Licences Scenarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Study with User Management<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. A company has 50,000 customers who only need to see their own cases. Which licence fits?<\/li>\n\n
    2. Partners need to work leads and deals in Salesforce. Which licence do you choose, and why?<\/li>\n\n
    3. A customer contact must become a portal user. How do you enable it?<\/li>\n\n
    4. A partner leaves their company. What do you do with their portal user?<\/li>\n\n
    5. The site will grow from 5,000 to 200,000 users. What licence and design limits do you check?<\/li>\n\n
    6. Customers want to self-register on the site. How do you set it up safely?<\/li>\n\n
    7. A customer user is linked to the wrong account. What problems does that cause, and how do you fix it?<\/li>\n\n
    8. Support wants internal agents to reply to site cases. How do internal and external users work together?<\/li>\n\n
    9. Finance asks why external licences cost so much. How do you explain the licence choice?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Name the licence type and why it fits the number of users and the data they need. Interviewers also like to hear how you would handle a user who leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Experience Cloud Scenario Questions on Sharing for External Users<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Study with Sharing Rules, Roles and OWD<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Customer users can see cases from other companies. What went wrong, and how do you fix it?<\/li>\n\n
      2. Each customer must see all cases from their own company, not just their own. How do you set it up?<\/li>\n\n
      3. High-volume customer users cannot see a custom object record. What do you use instead of roles?<\/li>\n\n
      4. Partners must see only the deals assigned to their company. How do you share them?<\/li>\n\n
      5. External OWD is Public Read Only by mistake. What is the risk, and what do you change?<\/li>\n\n
      6. A partner manager must see records of all users in the partner company. What setting helps?<\/li>\n\n
      7. A new custom object must be visible to customers on the site. What steps do you take?<\/li>\n\n
      8. An audit asks which external users can see invoices. How do you check?<\/li>\n\n
      9. Customers can see a field that should be internal only. How do you hide it?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        A strong answer separates internal and external OWD and names the exact sharing tool, such as sharing sets for high-volume users. Then say how you would test as two different customer users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Customer users compared with guest users in Experience Cloud Scenario Questions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Guest Users and Public Access Scenarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Study with Org Security<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. A public form must create a lead without login. How do you allow it safely?<\/li>\n\n
        2. A security review finds guest users can read all accounts. What do you do?<\/li>\n\n
        3. Public visitors must read Knowledge articles but nothing else. How do you set it up?<\/li>\n\n

        7. A guest user must upload a file with a support request. What are the risks?<\/li>\n\n
        8. After a release update, the public page stopped showing records. What changed?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Interviewers want to hear that guest users get the least access possible. So name guest sharing rules, the guest user profile and a regular access review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Experience Cloud Scenario Questions on Login and Registration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Customers forget passwords often and call support. What do you change?<\/li>\n\n
          2. A large customer wants to log in with their own company system. What do you set up?<\/li>\n\n
          3. Partners must use MFA, but customers should not. How do you set it up?<\/li>\n\n
          4. Self-registered users end up with no account. How do you fix the registration flow?<\/li>\n\n

          8. After login, partners should land on a dashboard page. How do you set it up?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            A good login answer names the login page settings, the registration handler or flow, and how users recover access without calling support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Site Support and Changes Scenarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Study with Sandboxes and Change Sets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. A site page change must move from sandbox to production. How do you deploy it?<\/li>\n\n
            2. Customers report that the site is slow on mobile. What do you check?<\/li>\n\n
            3. Leaders want to know how many customers used the site this month. Which reports do you build?<\/li>\n\n
            4. A component on the site shows an error only for customers. How do you find the cause?<\/li>\n\n
            5. The site must go offline for two hours during maintenance. What do you set up?<\/li>\n\n
            6. A broken link on the home page sends users to an error page. How do you prevent this in future?<\/li>\n\n

            8. An old site is no longer used. What do you do before you deactivate it?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Say how you would test as an external user, deploy with a plan and measure site use. Interviewers like admins who treat a site as a product, not a one-time build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Experience Cloud Scenario Questions FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Are Experience Cloud scenarios asked for every admin role?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              No, mainly for roles that support portals. But sharing for external users is asked often, so practise it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              What is the most common site mistake?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Giving guest users or external users more access than they need. Always test as each type of user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
