Watch a new user go from created to correctly permissioned — the modern way, with one baseline profile and permission sets on top.

## One profile, many permission sets

Salesforce is retiring profile-based permissions for a reason. Give everyone a minimum-access profile and grant everything else through permission sets — additive, auditable, and stackable.

## The login-as trick

Nothing debugs a permission problem faster than logging in as the user. Enable it in your Developer Edition and see exactly what they see.

## Practice in your org

- Open your Developer Edition org and follow along step by step
- Change one thing at a time and note what happens
- When something breaks, read the error before searching for it
