Permission set groups bundle permission sets that give users access to data, automation, and workflows in Public Sector based on their roles and interactions with your agency. To simplify permission management and to give users only the permissions they require, assign permission set groups instead of permission sets.
Use permission set groups to:
- Consistently assign the correct permission sets to all users who have a common persona or job role.
- Reliably audit user access by tracking the permission set group assigned to a user and reviewing the permissions included in the group.
- Easily update user access by modifying the permissions included in a permission set group.
- User and permission set licenses: Ensure users have the required licenses for all permissions in the group.
- Org preferences and settings: Enable the required org preferences or settings for any gated features in the group.
Public Sector includes these permission set groups.

- To see the permission set groups in your org, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Permission Set Groups, and then select Permission Set Groups.
- Select a permission set group to learn about the permission sets included and the permissions that users get when you assign them the permission set group. See Permission Set Groups and Combined Permissions View.
- In a permission set group, turn off the permissions that your users don’t require.
- Give users the required permissions by using permission set groups.
If a permission set group is in a Failed status, an org preference required by one of its permission sets might not be enabled in your org. Each permission set in a permission set group is visible only when its corresponding feature is enabled.
These permission set groups have known dependencies. Enable the listed feature in Setup, and then recalculate the permission set group.
| Permission Set Group | Feature to Enable |
|---|---|
| Public_Sector_Solutions_Admin | Care Plans |
| Talent_Recruitment_Management_Applicant | Talent Recruitment Management |
| Talent_Recruitment_Management_Employee | Talent Recruitment Management |
| Talent_Recruitment_Management_Specialist | Talent Recruitment Management |
If the permission set group still fails after you enable the required feature, contact your Salesforce admin or Salesforce Customer Support.
