Before muting permissions within a permission set group, review your business and user needs for the permission set group and understand how [permission dependencies](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_set_groups_muting_dependencies.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When you mute a permission in a permission set group, the muted permission impacts permissions that depend on it within the group. Understand how muting dependencies work and the effects of muting permissions on your users.") can affect access.

Note Muting only impacts permission set group users. Users outside of the group who are assigned directly to the permission sets remain unaffected.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Permission Set Groups, and then select **Permission Set Groups**.
2. Select the permission set group in which you want to mute permissions.
3. Click **Muting Permission Set in Group**, and then click **New**.
    
    Only one muting permission set is allowed per permission set group.
4. Give your muting permission set a label and API name and click **Save**.
5. Click the link for your new muting permission set.
6. In the Find Settings box, search for the name of the object or permission that you want to mute. Select it and click **Edit**.
    
    You can also navigate to permission or access settings pages from the muting permission set's detail page.
7. Select **Muted** for the permission or setting that you want to mute and click **Save**. If a confirmation message is displayed, review your changes and click **Save** or **Cancel**.
