Inspire Planner - Permission Set Inclusions

    Last Modified On: March 16, 2026

     

    A permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that give users access to various tools and functions. Although you can also specify permissions through user profiles, permission sets extend users' functional access without changing their profiles.

     

    When you install Inspire Planner, it comes with the following permission sets:
     

    • Inspire Planner Standard User - v1.12 Permissions
      Provides users full access to all features and functions within Inspire Planner except for those related to Agile Project Management.
       
    • Inspire Planner Standard User - Agile Project Management
      Provides users full access to all features and functions within Inspire Planner, plus features and functionality related to Agile projects. 
       
    • Inspire Planner Standard User - Customer Community Plus
      This permission set is ideal for Salesforce community users.
       
    • Inspire Planner System Jobs (Running User) - BETA
      This permission set is used by the integration user that executes Inspire Planner background processes.
       

      Please note: The Inspire Planner System Jobs (Running User) permission set is still in BETA. This has only been validated against a user with a Salesforce License and who has been assigned a Standard User Profile. 

    • Inspire Planner Administrator
      This permission set is intended for users who manage and configure Inspire Planner. This is the only permission set that grants access to the Inspire Planner Settings page.
       
    • Inspire Planner - Lite User
      This permission set is ideal for users who need a limited view of Inspire Planner.
       
    • Inspire Planner - Read-Only User
      This permission set grants read-only access to Inspire Planner features.
       
    • Inspire Planner - Resource Manager
      This permission set grants access to Inspire Planner features related to Resource and Timesheet Management.

     


    Required Permissions for Integration Users

     

    To schedule the system jobs, the integration user must first be assigned both the Inspire Planner Administrator permission set and the Inspire Planner System Jobs (Running User) – BETA permission set.
     

    The Inspire Planner Administrator permission set grants access to the Inspire Planner Settings page, which is required to configure and schedule the system jobs.

     

    Once the jobs have been successfully scheduled, the Inspire Planner Administrator permission set can be removed. The user only needs to retain the Inspire Planner System Jobs (Running User) – BETA permission set for the jobs to continue running.

     

    If you do not have or require a dedicated integration user, you can simply assign the Inspire Planner Administrator permission set to the user who will configure and run the jobs.

     

     

    Required Permissions for Agile Projects

    If you intend to enable Agile Projects in Inspire Planner, it is recommended that you assign both permission sets to all of your Salesforce users. If you do not intend to enable Agile projects, you only need to assign the Inspire Planner Standard User -v 1.12 permission set. To learn how, please see Assigning Inspire Planner Permission Set.

     

     

    Customizing Permissions

    If you are looking to restrict access to certain objects or fields within Inspire Planner, it is recommended that you clone our standard permission sets and edit the clone to remove access. This ensures that users still have access to all other functional areas and underlying components of Inspire Planner.

    At the bottom of this help article are spreadsheets outlining all the permissions included in the Inspire Planner Permission Sets. These documents are updated with every release. If you are using custom permission sets, please ensure that you update your permission sets accordingly.

     

    Please note:

    There are some native Salesforce permissions required by Inspire Planner that the Inspire Planner permission sets are not able to grant access to. The approach would be to grant access via profiles, or to create a custom permission set that includes these few items and apply it to all Inspire Planner users. Please refer to the tab "Salesforce Permissions Needed" in each attached spreadsheet.
