Permission Set Groups are one of the cleanest admin upgrades Salesforce has introduced—and I now use them to enforce structure and clarity across our org.
Instead of assigning a dozen permission sets individually, I:
Create logical groups like “Core Consultant Access” or “Service Manager Tools”
Add or remove permission sets centrally
Apply muting permissions when necessary (yes, you can subtract access too)
This also makes onboarding and audits dramatically easier. Want to know what a user can do? Check their assigned groups—it tells the story in seconds.
If you’re not using Permission Set Groups yet, this is your sign to start.
