SessionPermSetActivation

The SessionPermSetActivation object represents a permission set assignment activated during an individual user session. When a SessionPermSetActivation object is inserted into a permission set, an activation event fires, allowing the permission settings to apply to the user’s specific session. This object is available in API versions 37.0 and later.

Supported Calls

If you include session-based permission sets in a permission set group, the permissions in them do not require session-based activation for users assigned to the group.

In the following Apex example, an identified session is activated after session information is submitted via a button. Successful activation results in a confirmation message displayed to the user.
