By default, how many roles are created when the first external user is created on a partner account?
When the first external user is created on a partner account, a default role hierarchy is established with three roles: Partner Executive, Partner Manager, and Partner User. This structure is designed to manage access and permissions within the partner account. The creation of these three roles happens automatically to provide a foundation for role-based access control.
By Default it is 1 C. You can select up to 3.

Answer A: When you create the first external user on a partner account in Salesforce, a default role hierarchy is established with three roles: 1. Partner Executive: This role is typically at the top of the hierarchy and represents the highest level of access within the partner account. 2. Partner Manager: The Partner Manager role is positioned below the Partner Executive and has slightly more restricted access. 3. Partner User: This role is usually at the lowest level of the hierarchy and represents standard users within the partner account. These default roles are created to provide a basic structure for managing access and permissions within the partner account. However, you can customize the role hierarchy and create additional roles to meet your organization’s specific needs and requirements. Depending on your use case and the complexity of your partner account, you may need to adjust the roles and hierarchy accordingly.
The default is 1and the user can select unto 3. This configuration can be changed under Setup -> Digital Experiences -> Settings.
When you enable the first external user on a partner account, a user role hierarchy is created for that account. This role hierarchy rolls up to the account owner (typically, the channel manager). The three roles in this hierarchy are Partner User, Partner Manager, or Partner Executive.
Three roles are not created automatically, they can be created, but don't have to.

Based on the documentation the correct answer is A. "When you enable the first external user on a partner account, a user role hierarchy is created for that account. This role hierarchy rolls up to the account owner (typically, the channel manager). The three roles in this hierarchy are Partner User, Partner Manager, or Partner Executive. When you create contacts on the partner account and convert them to external users, assign one of these roles to them."
Extra info for the doc: "The Partner User role rolls up to the Partner Manager role, which rolls up to the Partner Executive role. The Partner Executive role rolls up to the Channel Manager role. Partner users can view and edit all data owned by or shared with users below them in the hierarchy, regardless of the org's sharing model. Note NOTE Changing this setting doesn’t affect the number of roles for existing accounts. For example, let's say you start with one partner role in your org, and create partner accounts with just one role. Then you increase the number of roles to three. The partner accounts created with one role continue to have just one, even after you change the default number of roles."
Answer is C. Just tried it on a new scratch org, the default is 1 role.
