Grants Management Permission Sets
Assign users to the Grants Management permission sets to quickly provide access.
Grants Management has several permission sets that give access to features important to the grantmaking process.
You can't change managed permission sets. If you need to give grantmakers additional access, we recommend creating a new permission set for those same users and adding the permissions the users need. Then, add the managed permission set and your custom permission set to a permission set group to assign to your users. Learn more about Permission Set Groups in the Salesforce Help.
For more information about what's in these permission sets, see Grants Management Permissions Reference.
