  3. Click Manage Assignments and then click Add Assignments.
  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

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