Assign a Permission Set

After creating your scratch org and pushing the source, you must sometimes give your users access to your application, especially if your app contains custom objects.
  1. If needed, create the permission set in the scratch org.
    1. Create a scratch org.
    2. From Setup, enter Perm in the Quick Find box, then select Permission Sets.
    3. Click New.
    4. Enter a descriptive label for the permission set, then click Save.
    5. Under Apps, click Assigned Apps | Edit.
    6. Under Available Apps, select your app, then click Add to move it to Enabled Apps.
    7. Click Save.
  2. Pull the permission set from the scratch org to your project. 
    1sfdx force:source:pull -u <scratch org username/alias>
  3. Assign the permission set to the org that contains the app: 
    1sfdx force:user:permset:assign -n <permset_name> -u <org username/alias>

    If a target username isn’t specified, the permission set is assigned in the default scratch org using the default username.
