  • yes, you make the contact a portal user and then add that user's profile or perm set to the community.

This has me baffled as well. As Ryan Guest says, its in:

http://help.salesforce.com/help/pdfs/en/salesforce_communities_implementation.pdf

... but you have to go to the Creating Communities Users section on page 23/24, then see "2. To create customer users ..."

The first step is to go to the Contact page, then at the top there is a button called "Manage External User", it has a drop-down option called "Enable Customer User" ... from there on it gets a little more obvious.
