This is how internal and communities roles are different
The way we can setup role hierarchy for internal users, we cannot do that for communities. For Communities we just have 3 roles namely Executive, Manager and User.
Sharing set grants community users access to any record associated with account or contact that matches user's account or contact.
To share records owned by high volume portal users with internal and external users, use Share Group. Share Groups apply across communities.
Clone the profile which you want to assign to the users.
If account owner does not have a role, it won't allow you to create a community user in self registration. For self registered user, a contact gets created.
You can assign page variation to audience.
Using moderation rules, you can block user from typing irrelevant contents. There are member criteria, content criteria. In moderation rules you can use member and content criteria and either flag or block users from typing irrelevant contents.
