I have created a community user and I need him to be able to update the related contact details. I'm using RestAPI to get and update the contact.
In profile settings, I have given the profile Read, Edit permissions for Contact Object.
In sharing rules I have the following:
When I try the GET, it works as expected. But when I try ti update the contact, it gives me the error insufficient access rights on object id.
If I update the sharing settings from "Controlled by Parent" to "Public Read/Write", the update works. But allowing public access doesn't seem right.
How can I allow a community user edit his (and only his) contact?
