For example, if you add the Use Identity Connect user permission to the Identity permission set, you can assign only users with the Identity Connect permission set license to the permission set. Or, if you create a permission set without specifying a license and include the Author Apex permission, you can’t assign the permission set to Salesforce Platform users, because their user license doesn’t allow Apex authoring. For more information, see [Licenses Overview](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_licenses_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To enable specific Salesforce functionality for your users, you must choose one user license for each user. To enable more functionality, you can assign permission set licenses and feature licenses to your users or purchase usage-based entitlements for your organization.") in Salesforce Help. After you remove a permission set from a user, related permission set license assignments are automatically removed in most cases. Automatic unassignment doesn't occur when updates are made via user access policies, when the user requires the license through another permission set, when removing a licensed permission set from a permission set group, or when unassigning 50 or more permission sets at once. It’s possible to assign inactive users to permission sets, but this practice isn’t recommended. If you’re troubleshooting errors related to permission set assignments, make sure to check if an inactive user is causing the issue. ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-access-264-0-0-production-enus/a92be132-3cbc-412a-9262-130636120c14/images/icon_tip.png) Tip Setup with Agentforce can help you work with permission set assignments more efficiently.
