Required Group Membership Permissions

To use Group Membership, Salesforce admins and users need the user permission Group Membership. Typically, a Salesforce admin assigns a permission set that includes this user permission. Because the feature is included in multiple products, the products and licenses in your org determine which permission set is available.

These permission sets include the Group Membership user permission, permission set license, and full access to all Group Membership objects and fields.

  • In Education Cloud, Merge and Split Groups is included with, and enabled by default, in the Education Cloud Full Access permission set, so you don’t need to create a custom permission set.
  • The merge and split groups workflows aren’t supported in Financial Services Cloud.

Customizing Permissions

If you customize Group Membership, such as adding fields, create a custom permission set. To remove user permissions from the default permission set, create a muting permission set. Then, use permission set groups to assign users the Group Membership permission set in addition to your custom permission sets. This approach ensures that you always have the latest default permissions and is an alternative to cloning permission sets.
