Manually configuring permissions for profiles after upgrade to 20.15.02

The push upgrade process automatically upgrades only the out-of-the-box permission sets. The following table lists the conditions in which you must manually configure profile-level permissions.

Note

If you are using profiles instead of permission sets to manage permissions for users, BMC strongly recommends that you start using BMC Remedyforce permission sets. You can assign multiple permission sets to your users to control the accessibility of BMC Remedyforce.

You have to assign the permission sets to your users only once. The next time a major release is automatically pushed to your organization, these permission sets are automatically updated. Moving to permissions sets will ensure that the automatic upgrade process is simplified and requires minimal manual post-upgrade configuration.

Before you begin

The procedure for configuring profile-level permissions is based on the enhanced profile user interface provided by Salesforce. This enhanced profile user interface enables you to apply all changes to a profile from a single page. For more information about the enhanced profile user interface, see the Salesforce Help.

To enable the enhanced profile user interface, perform the following actions

  1. Navigate to Setup > Customize > User Interface.
  2. In the Setup section, select the Enable Enhanced Profile User Interface check box.
