Salesforce is implementing a major shift - get ready for the change!

Salesforce is implementing a major shift: profile permissions will be discontinued. In the future, permission sets and permission set groups will become the new standard for managing user access rights.

What is happening?

To offer better flexibility, scalability, and security, Salesforce is moving away from using profiles for permission management. This implies that in order to effectively maintain and control user access, businesses must shift to using permission sets.

What does this mean for you?

If your organization continues to use profile-based permissions, it will be necessary to reorganize your access model. This change, if not adequately planned, may result in compliance risks, operational disruptions, and security gaps.

What is the retirement timeline?

Salesforce had intended to eliminate profile-based permissions in the Spring '26 release, but this has been delayed without a set date. No new date has been established, but admins are encouraged to transition to permission sets and groups, as future updates will concentrate on these areas.
