Namespace Permission Set Licenses in Packages

If you install a managed package that has an associated namespace permission set license, you can use it to entitle users access to one or more packages in that namespace. Namespace permission set licenses function in a similar way to managed package licenses.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience

The availability of each permission set license depends on the edition requirements for permission sets and the related feature.

Namespace permission set licenses appear on the Company Information page along with other permission set licenses. You assign them in the same manner as other permission set licenses. You can entitle access to an entire package or multiple packages, respectively, within a single namespace.

To view the properties and permissions of your namespace permission set license, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Users, and then select Users. Select a user and from the Permission Set License Assignments related list, click Edit Assignments. Here you can view the contents of a permission set license, the package namespace, and license expiration policy details.

An example of a namespace permission set license displayed in an org that includes the package namespace, license expiration policy, and custom permission detail.

License Expiration Policy indicates whether package access is blocked for existing users when all namespace permission set licenses expire.

Note You can assign a permission set unconstrained by licenses that has components from a managed package. If you assign such a permission set, at assignment time Salesforce validates whether the user has a namespace permission set license for the relevant managed package namespace. If users don’t have the license, the permission set assignment fails.
