Who Sees What: Permission Sets<br />

A permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that give users access to various tools<br />

and functions. The settings and permissions in permission sets are also found in profiles, but<br />

permission sets extend users’ functional access without changing their profiles. For example, to<br />

give users access to a custom object, create a permission set, enable the required permissions for<br />

the object, and assign the permission set to the users. You never have to change profiles, or create<br />

a profile for a single use case. While users can have only one profile, they can have multiple<br />

permission sets.<br />

Permission sets include settings for:<br />

• Assigned apps<br />

• Object settings, which include:<br />

– Tab settings<br />

– Record type settings<br />

– Object permissions<br />

– Field permissions<br />

• App permissions<br />

• Apex class access<br />

• Visualforce page access<br />

• System permissions<br />

• Service providers (only if you've enabled Salesforce as an identity provider)<br />

• External data source access<br />

• Custom permissions<br />

Note:<br />

• Some user licenses restrict the number of custom apps or tabs a user can access. Salesforce calculates the total allowed number<br />

of custom tabs and assigned apps from settings in a user’s assigned profile plus any assigned permission sets. For users with<br />

a license that restricts the number of apps or tabs, you can't assign more than the allotted limit through their assigned profile<br />

and permission sets. For example, a user with the Force.com App Subscription user license with access to one Force.com Light<br />

App can access only that app’s custom tabs.<br />

• In Group and Professional Editions, permission sets may be included in installed packages, where they can be viewed and<br />

assigned to users but not edited.<br />
