## Before You Begin

- Make sure you have the correct edition, permissions, role, and permission set listed above.

## Phase 2: Give Users Access

2. Select **Manage**.

4. Click **Assign**.
5. Click **Done**.

## Phase 3: Assign Seat-Based Access (If Applicable)

Seat-based (unmetered) access requires all three phases. Skip Phase 3 if your org doesn't have seat-based Agentforce 1 Edition or Agentforce for Sales, Service, and Industries licenses.
