Introduction

Permission sets allow you to manage the operation or set of operations performed by a user or user group.

  • Set permissions to a partner user or a client user irrespective of their profile.
  • Restrict activities using the permission values assigned to each permission type.

For the effective and secured running of your organization, defining authorization for all accounts plays a key role. Using permission sets, you can authorize according to a specific role.
