The muting permission set only affect the related permission set group’s users. Muting permissions in a permission set group offers you granular control over user permission assignments, but keep in mind the impact on dependent permissions. The table details object permission dependencies. | When you mute: | These permissions are also muted: | | --- | --- | | Read | Create, Edit, Delete, View All Records, and Modify All Records | | Edit | Delete and Modify All Records | | Delete | Modify All Records | | View All Records | Modify All Records | When muting user permissions, pay attention to the permission change confirmation message when you save your changes for permission dependencies. For example, if you mute the Activate Contracts permission, then the Delete Activated Contracts permissions is muted as well. Muting object permissions can also affect user permissions. For example, one of the permission sets in your permission set group includes the Activate Orders user permission. Because Activate Orders requires Read and Edit object permissions on Orders, these object permissions are enabled automatically. If you mute the Edit permission, the Activate Orders user permission is muted as a result. ![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 If you mute the Modify All Data or View All Data user permissions, included object permissions aren’t affected. For example, a permission set has the Modify All Data permission and Create, Read, Edit, and Delete permissions for Accounts. You add the permission set to a permission set group and create a muting permission set that has only Modify All Data muted. As a result, Modify All Data is muted, but the Account object permissions stay enabled. If you don’t want users in the permission set group to have access to objects, you must also explicitly include the specific object permissions in the muting permission set. ![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-access-264-0-0-production-enus/a92be132-3cbc-412a-9262-130636120c14/images/icon_example.png) Example For example, the Sales Staff Users permission set group contains three permission sets and a muting permission set. The muting permission set mutes the Delete permission on Accounts and Opportunities. ![Conceptual diagram of a permission set group with a muted permission.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-access-264-0-0-production-enus/a92be132-3cbc-412a-9262-130636120c14/access/images/psg_mute_delete3_small.png) When you mute Delete on an object, Modify All Records is automatically muted (even if you didn’t enable it for that object). Modify All Records becomes disabled because it depends on full object access, which is no longer available when you mute Delete. ![Screen shot of Account object permissions with Delete and Modify All muted.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-access-264-0-0-production-enus/a92be132-3cbc-412a-9262-130636120c14/access/images/psg_mute_accounts.png) Similarly, if you mute Read on the object, then Create, Edit, Delete, View All Records, and Modify All Records are muted. If you can’t read object data, then you can’t perform actions such as delete on it. #### See Also - [Permission Set Groups](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_set_groups.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A permission set group streamlines permissions assignment and management.
