Understanding how to manage permission sets and profiles in Salesforce is crucial for effectively controlling user access. In this guide, tailored for 8020CRM users, we’ll walk you through the essential steps of setting up users, assigning permissions, and ensuring the right people have access to the right data.
Accessing Salesforce Setup
The first step in managing user access is to enter the Salesforce Setup area. Here, you’ll configure profiles and permission sets for your users.
Step 1: Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of your Salesforce screen.
Step 2: From the dropdown menu, select “Setup.”
Once you’re in the Setup menu, you’ll have access to all the tools you need to manage user profiles and permissions.
Navigating to Profiles and Permission Sets
Once inside Setup, the next step is locating the sections for profiles and permission sets, where you can assign or modify access permissions.
Find Profiles:
Use the search bar on the left side to type “Profiles.”
Click on “Profiles” under the Users section.
Find Permission Sets:
Type “Permission Sets” in the search bar.
Click on “Permission Sets” under the Users section.
Understanding Permission Sets
Permission sets allow you to extend user access without modifying their profiles. These sets offer flexibility by enabling specific permissions as needed.
Assign Permission Set Groups:
8020CRM offers predefined groups such as Base User Group (for general access), Administrator Group (for admins), and Retail User Group (for users working in sales).
Assign these groups based on user roles to streamline the process.

Configuring Profiles
Profiles in Salesforce control what users can access and modify, including record types, apps, and layouts. Here’s how to manage them effectively:
Overview of Profiles:
Salesforce provides different profiles such as System Admin, Residential Retail, and Residential REI. Profiles dictate the default access users have to CRM features and objects.
Assigning Profiles:
Based on the user's role, assign the appropriate profile. For example, give System Admin to those managing the system, Retail User to sales reps, and REI to those working in real estate investments.
Setting Up Users
Once you’ve assigned profiles and permission sets, the next step is configuring user details.
Edit User Information:
Navigate to the user’s profile page and update important fields such as Name, Email, Username, and Company. It’s essential to align these details with company records for consistency.
Set Up Business Units and Signatures:
Define the user’s Business Unit to ensure they only see data relevant to their department.
Configure Signature Settings to reflect your company’s branding, ensuring professional and consistent communication.
Finalizing User Configuration
After assigning profiles and permission sets, finalize the user’s setup to ensure they have the appropriate access.
Activate or Deactivate Users:
You can activate or deactivate a user’s account based on their status within the organization. This is useful during onboarding or offboarding processes.
Manage User Access and Passwords:
Reset passwords or adjust access directly from the user setup page, ensuring secure and streamlined access to the platform.
Customizing User Permissions
For advanced configurations, you can dive deeper into user-specific permissions, allowing greater control over what each user can see and do.
Advanced Permission Sets:
For specialized roles, explore additional sets like Skip Trace Access, Retail Commissions, or Converted Lead Visibility. Each permission set is designed to give users the exact access they need without overwhelming them with unnecessary features.
Custom Profiles:
Although Salesforce suggests keeping the number of profiles to a minimum, if your organization requires specific configurations, feel free to clone and customize the profiles we provide, such as System Admin, Residential Retail, and REI.
Conclusion
Managing permission sets and profiles in 8020CRM is essential for ensuring users have the right level of access without overcomplicating workflows. By following these steps, you can control who sees what and maintain an efficient, secure Salesforce environment.
Remember, it’s always best to start with minimal access and gradually add more permissions as needed. For any additional help or advanced customizations, don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team.
