Before you create a permission set group, assess your existing permission sets and users. Evaluate the types of job functions that your target group of users have, and group the permission sets based on their job functions.

Tip Setup with Agentforce can help you work with permission set groups more efficiently. For more information, see [Setup with Agentforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.setup_agentforce_overview.htm&language=en_US) and [User Access Management in Setup with Agentforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.setup_agentforce_user_access.htm&language=en_US).

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Permission Set Groups, then select **Permission Set Groups**.
2. Click **New Permission Set Group**.
3. Enter a label and description for the permission set group, and save your work.
4. To see your new permission set group in a list view, from Setup, select **Permission Set Groups** again, then from the list view dropdown menu choose **All Permission Set Groups**.

To delete a permission set group, select the permission set group in the list view to open the Permission Set Group detail page, then click **Delete**.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-access-264-0-0-production-enus/a92be132-3cbc-412a-9262-130636120c14/images/icon_note.png)

Note Before you delete a permission set group, keep these points in mind:

- You must remove all user assignments from the permission set group before you can delete it.
- You can’t delete Salesforce-provided standard permission set groups. You can only delete custom permission set groups.
- When you view permission set groups in a list view, **Delete** and other actions aren’t available in the list view dropdown menu.

For more information on deleting permission set groups, see [Permission Set Group Considerations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_set_groups_considerations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When working with permission set groups, keep these behaviors in mind.").

- **[Add Permission Sets to Permission Set Groups](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_set_groups_create_with_perm_sets.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    After you’ve created a permission set group, you can add permission sets to the group based on the needs of a particular user job role or persona.
- **[Remove Permission Sets from Permission Set Groups](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_set_groups_remove_perm_sets.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    If you no longer need a permission set in a permission set group, you can remove the permission set from the group.
