Setup and Configuration
Permission Sets
There is one permission set included with the Customer Education package. The Customer Education Standard User permission set will need to be assigned to any user that will be viewing course enrollments for contact records.
Assign Permission Set
To assign permission sets, navigate to Setup > User > Permission Sets then select the Customer Education Standard User Permission Set. Select “Manage Assignments”.
