Assign permission sets to a single user or to multiple users. See [Manage Permission Set Assignments](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleview?id=platform.perm_sets_manage_assignments.htm).

To give your users additional or fewer permissions, create a custom permission set for your org-specific permissions. Then, add your custom permission set to a permission set group that also includes the appropriate managed permission set. Use permission set groups in this way to make sure that your users always get access to new Nonprofit Cloud permissions and helps you add or remove specific permissions based on your users' needs. Learn more in [Permission Set Groups](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleview?id=platform.perm_set_groups.htm).

Nonprofit Cloud includes managed permission sets for various Nonprofit Cloud features. Learn more about the features and assign the appropriate permissions for your users.
