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 />
