Manage Permission Set Assignments
Assign Permission Sets to a Single User
You can assign permission sets or remove permission set assignments for a single user from the
user detail page.
1. From Setup, click Manage Users > Users.
2. Select a user.
3. In the Permission Set Assignments related list, click Edit Assignments.
4. To assign a permission set, select it from the Available Permission Sets box and click Add. To
remove a permission set assignment, select it from the Enabled Permission Sets box and click
Remove.
Note:
• The Permission Set Assignments page shows permission sets with no associated
license and permission sets that match the user's license. For example, if a user's
license is Chatter Only, you can assign permission sets with the Chatter Only license
and permission sets with no associated license to that user.
If you assign a permission set with no associated user license, all of its enabled settings
and permissions must be allowed by the user’s license, or the assignment will fail.

USER PERMISSIONS
To assign permission sets:
• “Assign Permission Sets”
5. Click Save.
• Some permissions require users to have permission set licenses before the user can
have those permissions. For example, if you add the “Use Identity Connect” permission
to the “Identity” permission set, only users with the Identity Connect permission set
license can be assigned the “Identity” permission set.
Assign a Permission Set to Multiple Users
From any permission set page, you can assign the permission set to one or more users.
1. From Setup, click Manage Users > Permission Sets.
2. Select a permission set.
3. In the permission set toolbar, click Manage Assignments.
4. Click Add Assignments.
If any users are selected, this button isn’t available.
5. Select the users to assign to this permission set.
You can assign up to 1000 users at a time.
6. Click Assign.
Tip: Use the selected list view, select another list view, or to narrow the list of users using
a different filter criteria, create a new list view.
7. Review the messages on the Assignment Summary page. If any users weren’t assigned, the
Message column lists the reasons.
8. To return to a list of all users assigned to the permission set, click Done.
