Important When you unassign a permission set or permission set group from a user, the 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 or permission set groups at once. In these scenarios, follow the steps in this topic.

1. Identify the permission that requires the permission set license that you want to remove.
2. Make sure that permission isn’t assigned to the user through a permission set. You can do that in one of these ways.
    
    - Remove the permission from the permission sets assigned to the user
    - [Remove the permission set](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_sets_manage_assignments.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can assign permission sets to a single user from the user detail page or assign multiple users to a permission set from any permission set page.") from the user’s assigned permission sets
3. To remove a permission set license from a single user:
    1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Users, and then select **Users**.
    2. Click the name of the user whose permission set license you want to remove.
    3. In the Permission Set License Assignments related list, click **Del** next to the permission set license that you want to remove, and then click **OK**.
4. To remove a permission set license from multiple users:
    1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Company Information, and then select **Company Information**. Scroll down to the Permission Set Licenses section.
    2. Click the name of the permission set license you want to remove.
    3. On the permission set license’s detail page, click **View Users**.
    4. Select the users that you want to remove assignments for. Click **Remove Assignments** and then click **OK**.
