User Licenses in Salesforce
In Salesforce, licenses are assigned to specific users within the organization. The assigned licenses give access to the Salesforce products and features. There are different types of licenses that provide access to specific features and functionalities of Salesforce Platform users.
For example, if you have to update opportunities then you are required to have read and write access to the opportunities to update them, and this permission is included in the user license
User License Types in Salesforce
Salesforce Licenses are mainly divided into three categories which are as follows.
User License: In Salesforce, a user license specifies the access to features or functionality a user can have in the organization and each user may have one single user license.
Feature License: The Feature License grants additional permission to the user for the features that are not included in their license. This additional permission could include Marketing User, Flow User, Knowledge User, and Service Cloud User features.
Permission Set License: Permission set licenses give users incremental access to features that aren’t included in their user licenses. Users can be assigned any number of permission-set licenses but make sure that the permission set has the remaining licenses. There are several permission-set licenses available for Salesforce Contracts, OmniStudio, and Document Generation users.
