Automatically assign a permission set upon new user creation

I'm looking for the best way to accomplish assigning a permmision set when a new user is created without me having to manually do it. I'd like to do this via flow/process builder but I'm not having luck with that. Anyone have any insite or suggestions on how to do this task?

I'm not 100% sure if this will work, but it looks like you can create a PermissionSetAssignment record (https://www.salesforce.com/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_permissionsetassignment.htm).  So what you should be able to do is use a trigger, or perhaps an invocable method fired through a flow / process to create the PermissionSetAssignment record and assign it your new user's Id.

As James suggested, you would have to create a PermissionSetAssignment record via a trigger on the User object.

Alternatively, you can also data load the PermissionSetAssignment object.

Hi,

To achieve that, a solution would be to use process builder or workflow + flow.

Hi Christopher,
You can try flow or data loader approach here. Please let us know if you are facing any issue.
