Usage

Finding Permission Set Assignments

Use the PermissionSetAssignment object to query permission set assignments to find out which permission sets are assigned to which users. Because each user may be assigned to many permission sets and each permission set may be assigned to many users, each PermissionSetAssignment ID represents the association of a single user and single permission set.

For example, to search for all of the permission sets assigned to a particular user:

SELECT Id, PermissionSetId
FROM PermissionSetAssignment
WHERE AssigneeId = '005600000017cKt'

To search for all users assigned to a particular permission set:

SELECT Id, AssigneeId
FROM PermissionSetAssignment
WHERE PermissionSetId = '0PS30000000000e'

You can also create a new permission set assignment, or use delete to remove a permission set that's assigned to a user. To update an assignment, delete an existing assignment and insert a new one.

User Licenses

When assigning a permission set, the PermissionSet ​UserLicenseId and the Profile ​UserLicenseId must match. To determine a user's license assignment, query the user's profile and then query the profile's license.

For example, to find a user's profile ID:

SELECT Id, ProfileId
FROM User
WHERE Id = '005D0000001GMAT'

To find a permission set's UserLicenseId:

SELECT Id, UserLicenseId
FROM PermissionSet
WHERE Id = '0PS30000000000e'

If the IDs match, the assignment succeeds.
