# Create Users and Assign Permissions

Create users and provide access to Marketing Intelligence features. Assign a single Permission Set Group containing all required permissions, instead of individual permission sets.

### Required Editions

Before you install Marketing Intelligence, admins must assign themselves the required permissions. Installation won't proceed without them.

Note

When Data 360 is enabled, standard permission sets apply only to the default data space. To grant access to other data spaces, update the associated data space. All permission sets—including standard and custom ones—must be manually associated with non-default data spaces

See [_Associate a Permission Set with a Data Space_](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_spaces_associate_perm_sets.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

Tip Use Permission Set Groups for streamlined access management. Ensure users have the required licenses before assigning groups.

1. In Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter **Users**, then under User Management Settings, select **Users**.
    
    ![Setup page with Users selected](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_mi-264-0-0-production-enus/1b98e128-929e-4c79-a9f3-86e27aefc8d6/mc_mi/images/mc_mi_permissions.png)
2. Click a user name, or click **New User** to create a new user.
3. Click **Permission Set Group Assignments** and then click **Edit Assignments**.
4. Select the appropriate Permission Set Group, such as **MI Admin**, **MI Data Specialist**, or **MI Marketing Manager** and then click **Add**.
5. Save your work.
    
    To assign permissions manually instead of using Permission Set Group Assignments, click **Permission Set Assignments** and add each individual permission set listed in the table above.
    
    Repeat these steps for each user that needs access to Marketing Intelligence.

Note

Existing users with individual permission sets are not impacted by new group permissions and continue to work as before.
