The Permissioner

Permission Sets allow administrators to provide individual permissions in conjunction with profiles to enable access for certain users on an ad hoc basis, thus reducing a growing and unmanageable number of profiles in a Salesforce org. Standard Salesforce functionality allows administrators to assign permission sets to a single user at a time. The Permissioner dramatically reduces the time and frustration involved with assigning and revoking permission sets assignments to multiple users. Using a simple interface, administrators can select one or more permission sets to assign to one or more users at a time. When a permission set is selected and users are searched, only those users not already assigned to it will display in the list. This is useful when trying to assign more than 1000 users. With The Permissioner, life is made easy by assigning a permission set to as many users as needed from one intuitively simple screen. Functionality may be limited for orgs with over 25,000 users. Please email us at [email protected] if you have a high volume of users.
