Create and edit permission sets

Permission sets enable you to define preset permissions for your team. Once you've created a permission set and specified certain permissions for it, you can then assign new and existing users the permission set to grant them the same permissions.

Super admins can create up to 100 permission sets. Admins with permissions to add or edit users can only assign permission sets that they themselves have permissions for.

• In the upper right, click Create permission set.
• On the permission set customization screen, enter the permission set name at the top and navigate the tabs to assign the permissions this set should have.
• Go to the Review tab to review your selections.
• Once done, click Create. You can now assign this permission set to new users while creating them, and to existing users.
