Custom permissions give you a way to provide access to custom processes or apps. After
you’ve created a custom permission and associated it with a process or app, you can enable the
permission in profiles.
Required Editions
Available in: both Salesforce Classic and
Lightning Experience
Available in: Group, Professional, Enterprise,
Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
In Group and
Professional Edition organizations, you can’t create or edit custom permissions, but you
can install them as part of a managed package.
User Permissions Needed
To enable custom permissions in profiles:
Manage Profiles and Permission Sets
We strongly recommend that you use permission sets and permission set groups instead of
profiles to manage your users’ custom permissions. Because you can reuse smaller permission set
building blocks, you can avoid creating dozens or even hundreds of profiles for each user and
job function. For more information, see Permissions Sets in Salesforce Help.
From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Profiles, and then select
Profiles.
Select a profile.
Depending on which user interface you’re using, do one of the following.
In the enhanced profile user interface, click Custom
Permissions, and then click Edit.
In the original profile user interface, in the Enabled Custom Permissions related list,
click Edit.
To enable custom permissions, select them from the Available Custom Permissions list and
click Add. To remove custom permissions from the profile, select them
from the Enabled Custom Permissions list and click Remove.
