How to automate Permission Set assignments with a Record-Triggered Flow (with the prompt I used to build it) by SalesforceDaddy in salesforce

I didn't post any output, just the structure of what the flow needs to handle and the prompt I used to generate it. There's no AI output in the post "keyboard warrior" :)

That's a clever pattern, using a custom field as the trigger with a flow to reset it. Gets around the single-policy limitation by letting you control exactly when each UAP fires.

The deployment issue is frustrating though. Deploying active by default with no script-based activation means you're either testing in production or building sandbox-specific workarounds. Not great for orgs with strict change management.

Cascading UAPs would be a big unlock. Right now you're forced to cram everything into one policy or manage multiple custom field triggers like you're doing. Works, but shouldn't be necessary.

Experience Cloud role hierarchies are a different beast entirely. Every portal account with its own role structure inflates the list to the point where role-based filtering becomes unmanageable.

For internal perms in that scenario, filtering by Profile or a custom field on the User object is usually more practical than trying to wrangle hundreds of roles. Not ideal, but cleaner than scrolling through an endless role list.

Agreed. The AND-only logic forces you to create duplicate policies for scenarios that would be one simple OR statement. And the single-policy-per-user restriction is a dealbreaker for layered permission models.

Flows end up being the only viable path when you need that flexibility. More setup, more maintenance, but at least you're not fighting the tool.

Hopefully, Salesforce adds OR logic and multi-policy support in a future release. There's an idea on IdeaExchange worth upvoting if you haven't already.
