together to streamline and manage access control effectively.

How Permissions Work?
- Permission sets are collections of settings and permissions that grant users access to
various tools and functions. They are assigned to individual users to extend their access
beyond their profile settings.
- Permission set groups bundle multiple permission sets together based on user job
functions or roles. Users assigned to a permission set group receive the combined
permissions of all the permission sets in the group. Updates made to a permission set
automatically propagate to all permission set groups that include it, simplifying
management.
- Users are assigned permission sets or permission set groups to grant them the necessary
access for their roles. This approach ensures that users have the right level of access
without over-permissioning.
