Added screen shot of Create New View for Users and provided links for permissions/security refs
Nov 11, 2014 at 15:17 comment added crmprogdev I will continue to try to assist you as time permits but please remember that I'm a volunteer here, not an employee who staffs this site. Now that you've clarified the Contact is already a User, its clear the issue is one of permissions. See my updated answers above. BTW, you can edit your post at any time to add a screen shot. The edit button is at the lower left corner.
Nov 11, 2014 at 4:36 comment added PSH I request you to please shed some light on this. I have done each and every step as per the document. Still the external users are not able to access community. Please help me, as I am really stuck here.
Nov 10, 2014 at 21:29 comment added PSH When the external user logs into the community, he is not able to see the community group posts at all... It says insufficient privilege
Nov 10, 2014 at 14:36 comment added PSH Thank you sir. But I am not able to attach a screenshot here. I tried the same steps like your screenshot. But still those users are not visible, if I click on my chatter group and click on "ADD MEMBERS". It shows only internal users.

Nov 10, 2014 at 4:17 comment added PSH thank you for your reply. I tried it from SF interface itself. I wish I could attach screenshot here to explain more clearly. I followed the same instruction provided in the link, sent by you.
Nov 10, 2014 at 3:45 comment added crmprogdev Do this from inside SF by clicking on the Contact. The directions were intended to be used from within the regular SF interface, not from within the Community. Again, take a look at the link I referred you to for step-by-step instructions. You'd need to have Community Manager Privileges to do much from within the Community and that's primarily for administering existing users.
Nov 10, 2014 at 3:26 comment added PSH Thanks a lot for you reply. I have tried this step. But the problem still exists. I click on my Community ( as an admin). I clicked on "Add members". The list shows only internal users. The external users, are not being shown at all. When I login as Customer User and click on "community group" tab, I get insufficient privilege error.
