Using CSC Components On your Experience Cloud Site
You can add the CSC Task Portfolio component to your existing Experience Cloud site to enable your customers to view and edit playbook tasks.
When using the Task Portfolio on your Experience Cloud site the following buttons are not available:
- Add Task
- Delete Tasks
- Flag Tasks
- Click Setup | Feature Settings | Digital Experiences | All Sites.
- Click Builder next to the site you want to update.
- Click . The Components panel opens.

- Click Publish, then Publish again. You will receive an email confirmation when your changes are live on your Experience Cloud site.
You can configure your Experience Cloud site permissions to control how your customers can interact with playbook tasks. Permissions can restrict some of the functionality, enabling you to protect your data while still enabling the customer to view their tasks, and perform permitted actions enforced by your permission configuration.
For more information about setting up permission sets, see the "Getting Started with PSA Experience Cloud Sites Summer 2022" PDF on FinancialForce Community.
You can decide which objects to give your users access to. You must create sharing sets to share the records with your users. A user can only see an object if their profile allows them at least read-only access to it.
To create a sharing set, Navigate to Setup | Feature Settings | Digital Experiences | Settings. For information on how to create a sharing set, search for “Set Up Sharing Sets” in the Salesforce Help.
To share records with your users:
- On the Sharing Set Edit page, enter a label in the Label field and accept the default Sharing Set Name. Label is the sharing set label as it appears on the user interface. The Sharing Set Name is the unique name used by the API.
- Select the profiles of the users to whom you want to provide access: Customer Community Plus User or Partner Community User.
- Select the following objects to grant users access to them:
- Project
- Project Task
- From the Configure Access section, click Edit next to the Project object. The Access Mapping for Project window opens. Select the following values from the fields displayed:
- User: "Account"
- Target Project: "pse__Account__c"
- Access Level: "Read Only"
- Click Save.
