# Get Ready for Profile-Based Rollout of Chatter

If you’re rolling out Chatter to a subset of your users, you can manage Chatter access with custom user profiles and permission sets. There’s a little up-front work that you can do to prepare.

Note Before you begin, disable Chatter for your org. In Setup, go to **Chatter Settings** and deselect **Enable**.

From a high-level perspective, a profile-based rollout of Chatter consists of these steps:

- Salesforce enables the Chatter profile-based rollout feature for your org.
- You determine who gets access to Chatter.
- You review and modify existing custom user profiles and permissions sets.
- Verify that in a custom user profile or permission set, the Enable Chatter permission has the desired setting.
- To permit or restrict Chatter access, assign the associated profile or permission set to users.
- You turn on Chatter for your org. Perform this step as a separate, final step. If you combine this step with another step or perform it out of order, unpredictable and undesirable results can occur.
