# Enable User Permissions in Permission Sets

User permissions specify what tasks users can perform and what features users can access. In permission sets, you enable user permissions in the App Permissions and System Permissions sections.

Tip Instead of completing this task manually, get help from Setup with Agentforce. For example, tell the Setup agent, “Update permission set Sales\_Operations to enable the ability to create dashboards.” For more information, see [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 Sets, and then select **Permission Sets**.
2. Select a permission set.
3. On the permission set overview page, search for the user permission that you want to enable in the Find Settings box, and then select it.
4. On the App Permissions or System Permissions page, click **Edit**.
5. Scroll down to the user permission and select its checkbox.
6. Click **Save**.

You can see and edit all user permissions that are enabled for a permission set on its summary page. On the permission set’s detail page, click **View Summary**.
