To edit app visibility settings: Manage Profiles and Permission Sets

Every profile must have at least one visible app, except profiles associated with Customer Portal users because apps aren’t available to them.

To specify app visibility:

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Profiles, and then select Profiles.
  2. Select a profile.
  3. Depending on which user interface you're using, do one of the following:
    • In the enhanced profile user interface, click Assigned Apps, and then click Edit.
    • In the original profile user interface, click Edit, and then scroll to the Custom App Settings section.
  4. Select one default app. The default app appears when users log in for the first time.
  5. Select Visible for any other apps that you want to make visible.
  6. Save your changes. In the enhanced profile user interface, if prompted, confirm any additional changes that must be made to keep permissions in alignment from previous changes.
