Salesforce has officially announced that profiles will no longer serve as the primary method for managing permissions, with their retirement slated for Spring 2026.
While profiles will still exist, their functionality will be scaled back to basics, such as login hours and default settings. When setting up a user, profiles will still be required, but their role will be limited to managing things like:
- Login hours and IP ranges
- Record types and default apps
- Page Layout Assignment will be still managed by profiles (Salesforce won't move this to permission sets as the future is App builder/Dynamic forms.
What's Changing?
Key Permissions Shift to Permission Sets:
Permissions like CRUD, field-level security, app access, and more will now be managed through permission sets.
Enhanced Flexibility with Layered Permissions:
You’ll be able to stack multiple permission sets and use permission set groups, providing greater flexibility for user access management.
Simplified Administration:
This transition reduces complexity, especially for large organizations with an overabundance of profiles.
Although this marks a major shift, it’s intended to streamline user management and simplify life for administrators in the long run.
Get Ahead of the Change:
Start planning your migration to permission sets today to ensure a smooth transition.
