Finding Permission Set Assignments

Use the PermissionSetAssignment object to query permission set assignments to find out which permission sets are assigned to which users.

For example, to search for all of the permission sets assigned to a particular user:

To search for all users assigned to a particular permission set:

You can also create a new permission set assignment, or use delete to remove a permission set that's assigned to a user. To update an assignment, delete an existing assignment and insert a new one.

To find all the permission sets with no license that are assigned to any user:
