How To Create Partner User In Salesforce

Hello #Trailblazers,

In this blog post, we will talk about very important concept for test class. We all know that we need to insert either normal user or community users inside test class. So, we will see how we can create the users for both the types.

Create User in Test Class

Create a Test Utility Class and then use the below method inside Utility class.

          public static User createUser(String roleId, String profId, String firstName, String lastName){         User tempUser = prepareUser(roleId, profId, firstName, lastName);         return tempUser;     }      private static User prepareUser(String roleId, String profId, String firstName, String lastName) {            String orgId = UserInfo.getOrganizationId();           String dateString =            String.valueof(Datetime.now()).replace(' ','').replace(':','').replace('-','');           Integer randomInt = Integer.valueOf(math.rint(math.random()*1000000));           String uniqueName = orgId + dateString + randomInt;           User tempUser = new User(               FirstName = firstName,               LastName = lastName,               email = uniqueName + '@sfdc' + orgId + '.org',               Username = uniqueName + '@sfdc' + orgId + '.org',               EmailEncodingKey = 'ISO-8859-1',               Alias = uniqueName.substring(18, 23),               TimeZoneSidKey = 'America/Los_Angeles',               LocaleSidKey = 'en_US',               LanguageLocaleKey = 'en_US',               ProfileId = profId         );             if( String.isBlank(roleId) == false ){             tempUser.UserRoleId = roleId;         }         return tempUser;       }

There are two methods inside the class one is createUser which we will call inside our TestClass and second one is being used by our method and the method takes 4 parameters

roleId – The Id of the Role if Applicable otherwise pass blank string
profileId – The Id of the Profile and it is Mandatory to pass
firstName – FirstName of the User
lastName – LastName of the User

Create Community User in Test Class

As we know that to create the Community User we need to have an Account Record and a Contact Record so first, we will create Contact & Account record using the below code. Use the below code inside your test utility class and then call from your test class.

          public static Account createAccount(String Name){         Account portalAccount = new Account(name = Name );         return portalAccount;     }     public static Contact createContact(String firstName, String lastName, String email, String accountId){         Contact portalContact = new contact(             FirstName = firstName,              LastName = lastName,              Email = email,              AccountId = accountI         );         return portalContact;     }

There are two methods in the utility class that takes the parameters and then return the Contact & Account Record. Call the Methods and then perform the insert operation.

Note:- There might be more required fields so please make sure you are providing all required fields for Account & Contact.

Now, Use below method inside your test Utility class to create the Community User

          public static User createCommunityUser(String contactId, String profId, String firstName, String lastName) {         User tempUser = prepareUser('', profId, firstName, lastName);         tempUser.ContactId = contactId;         tempUser.AccountId = accountId;         return tempUser;     }

As you can see that the above method is taking one new parameters for Contact Id.

Here is the Complete code for the apex Unit test class.

          @isTest public class AcountHelperClassTest {      @isTest     public static void createUser(){         Id profileId = [Select Id From Profile Where Name ='System Administrator'].Id;         User u = TestUtility.createUser('',profileId,'Amit','Singh');         System.runAs( u ){             Account acc = TestUtility.createAccount('Test Account');             insert acc;         }     }     @isTest     public static void createCommunityUser(){         /* Query Community User Profile */         Id profileId = [Select Id From Profile Where Name ='Customer Community Plus Login User'].Id;         Account acc = TestUtility.createAccount('Test Account');         insert acc;         Contact con = TestUtility.createContact('test','Contact','[email protected]',acc.Id);         insert con;         User u = TestUtility.createCommunityUser(con.Id,profileId,'Amit','Singh');              } }

Hope this helps you.
