Managing user access in Salesforce can quickly become complex—especially in large orgs with multiple Profiles and Permission Sets.
Salesforce admins often need answers to questions like:
- Which users belong to a specific Profile?
- What Permission Sets are assigned to those users?
- Which users are assigned to a particular Permission Set?
- What Profile is assigned to each user?
- How can all this data be exported in a single report?
Unfortunately, Salesforce does not provide a simple way to view these relationships together in one place.
Admins usually need to:
- Open Profiles individually
- Check users one by one
- Review Permission Set assignments manually
- Export data from multiple locations
- Combine everything manually in spreadsheets
This process can be time-consuming and difficult to manage.
