Assign Permission Set Licenses to Automotive Cloud Users
Assign permission sets to manage users’ access to objects, fields, and the apps. With permission set licenses, you can give users access to features beyond those included in their basic user licenses. Permission sets only grant access, they can’t take it away. You can assign multiple permission sets to a user.
