custom object on sites/ portal access

Hi all,

 

probably a dumb question - when editing a portal user's profile there are only standard objects listed.

my impression is now (which is hopefully wrong) that no access to custom objects is possible.

imagine a self-written app which inserts entries through a vf page into a custom object. that should be possible, shouldn't it?

 

Regards, Johannes

Johannes,
 
you can not edit standard profiles. Here are the steps:
1- drill down to the custom object definition and check the "Available for Customer Portal" check box
2- clone the standard portal profile

3- Edit this new custom profile to enable object permissions for your custom object

4- Enable this custom profile for your portal 
 
Force Platform Developer Guide Chapter 14 has an example for this.
