Customizing Permissions
If you customize Education Cloud, 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 Education Cloud permission set in addition to your custom permission sets. This approach is an alternative to cloning permission sets and makes sure that users always have the latest default permissions.
