How do you activate or deactivate a permission set in Salesforce?

To activate or deactivate a permission set in Salesforce, it is done using a specific Action. Permission sets are a way to grant additional permissions to users on top of their existing profile, and they can be activated or deactivated based on organizational needs or user roles.

When managing permission sets, an administrator can utilize specific actions through the Salesforce interface to enable or disable the permission set for users. This allows for flexible management of user permissions without the need to change their profiles directly.

Optionally, the interface includes checkboxes that can be toggled to activate or deactivate the permission set, making it a straightforward process rather than requiring complex setups or external tools.

The other options—such as utilizing buttons on the Permission Set page or through reports—do not accurately reflect the defined functionalities for managing permission sets. Similarly, the Change Set tool is primarily used for deploying changes between Salesforce environments rather than individual permission set management. Therefore, the specific action approach is the correct method to manage the activation or deactivation of permission sets.
