Learning Objectives

Let’s Begin

4. Select the users who need access to the Mortgage license, click Assign, and click Done. Matt selects Sofia and Shah.

Create Enhanced Mortgage User Permission Sets

Financial Services Cloud ships with a Mortgage license and a Document Checklist license, but mortgage users need differing access to both mortgage and document checklist objects. Some mortgage users run flows and create Experience Cloud site users. 

Matt creates permission sets to assign necessary object and feature permissions to Cumulus’s different mortgage users.
