Enter a portal via Crm user in salesfoce - salesforce

There is any way to enter my portal site with crm user insteed of portal user?
thanks a-lot!.

Unfortunately no.
This is the way the portals are designed to work: a pair user and contact with the contact linked on activation to an associated portal user.
You can though log as a Portal user from the Salesforce UI (on the related Contact detail page) to see things from your portal user eyes.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Social Account Access to MyAccess Portal

We used to be able to have social accounts request access packages by signing in at myaccess.microsoft.com. Now, we get an error that says you can not sign in with a personal account. Why is this the case since it remains possible to create a domain like gmail.com or outlook.com as a connected organization in Entitlement Management?
Also, after landing on the myaccess portal and expanding an access package that a user has been approved for to view its resources, it used to be able for example, to open a SharePoint site or an application directly from this view by simply clicking on the resource or clicking an open Now that ability has been removing leaving us to have to send links tot he resource to users. This degrades experience substantially. Can we have this ability returned?
Please check the type of personal account in your portal, and if guest, you cannot log in myaccess.onmicrosoft.com , if created in the portal or of type member, it is accessible.
This is the relevant doc.
Sign in to the My Access portal.
Be sure you use your organizational (work or school) account. If
you're unsure, check with your project or business manager.
I invited my personal account (user type) to test if I login directly myaccess.onmicrosoft.com.And the following screenshots do report errors.

Community customization

I have a requirement where I have created an community.
Contact will create an account. This will give them access to the portal where they can login to the community at any point and can fill out an applications for the programs.
No Tabs just a home screen with user’s contact info
Link on left:
My Account
My Applications
My Groups
Chatter
Once an application is approved, user will be made a member of the corresponding group.
If part of community but not part of any programs, they will have access to general chatter
Group Pages – will have separate chatter and home page.
Can anyone please help me with this?

Displaying User Agreement in SFDC Customer Portal

We use SFDC Customer Portal for allowing our customers access to portal features such as product documentation and case management. One of our business requirements is to require customers to accept an agreement before they can choose a password and gain access to the portal.
Is this scenario possible with configuration of the customer portal or is this something that will require us to code custom visual force pages? Appreciate any pointers in this regard.
Thanks

There is no configuration setting in Customer Portal that lets you do this natively. However you can easily implement this using a Visualforce page. Customize the landing page (login page) so that the login options are only shown when the user accepts the User Agreement using javascript or visualforce ajax.

Edit User Account on SharePoint Server 2010/Project Server 2010 without AD

We have installed SharePoint Server 2010 and Project Server 2010 without AD. We're a disconnected bunch and thought we'd take it for a spin since being part of BizSpark. But now I'm seeing an issue with editing user account info like email address. Can anyone give me some hints on how life might be like without AD or how to supplement what we might be missing by running the system without AD. Many posts note it is supported but little has notes on what you might be missing.
Thanks in advance.
What you need is to check out the User Profile Service Application area.
Go to SharePoint Central Administration
Go to Manage Service Applications
Select User Profile Service Application
This area is the home of the accounts that are in SharePoint, as well as all the information about the users and how it is displayed on their "My Site"/profile page areas.
If you select Manage User Profiles, this is the area where you can override information from Active Directory about users that are in sharepoint. If you connect to AD, you'll see a little database icon next to the fields that indicates it is synchronized. Even if you use AD, these field can be individually overriden with new information. If you don't have AD, then these will all need to be populated manually by you.
If you go to Manage User Properties you will find all the options to show which fields are editable and which fields are not on a user's profile. This includes, but is not limited to:
Email
Display Name
Homepage/Url
Department
Manager
If you have AD, you'll rarely visit this service admin page, because everything will just work. If you don't, then you'll need to check out this area to change the information about the people that are using your SharePoint instance.
Hope that helps!
