Notes

A permission set group streamlines permissions assignment and management.

Use a permission set group to bundle permission sets together based on user job functions.

Users assigned the permission set group receive the combined permissions of all the permission sets in the group.

You can include a permission set in more than one permission set group.

Updates in a permission set propagate to all permission set groups that include the permission set.

You can also remove individual permissions from a group with the muting feature, to further customize the group.

Suppose that you have users in your sales department with these requirements.

Use Sales Cloud Analytics templates and apps
Create, edit, and delete surveys
Read, create, edit, and delete accounts and opportunities
Create and customize list views and reports

You have three permission sets that contain the permissions you need, plus other permissions.

Without permission set groups, you assign each permission set separately to this set of users.

With permission set groups, you create a single group based on the tasks that your sales employees regularly perform. You can call it Sales Staff Users. Then, assign the group to the sales employees. The permission set group contains the combined permissions of all three permission sets.
