To get the most out of Mercury SMS, you first need to assign permission sets, then you can add additional components and features.
Assigning Permission Sets
The following permission sets are installed with the application:
- Mercury SMS Full - assign to users requiring full access to the application, including the setup and configuration tab; this set is recommended for Salesforce administrators.
- Mercury SMS Universal License - assign to users requiring the ability to use the app in full, excluding the setup and configuration tab; recommended for non-admins.
To view and assign permission sets, follow the instructions in these Salesforce articles:
| Note - A permission set titled "Mercury SMS Non Admin" may be present; the set has been replaced by the "Mercury SMS None License" set. |
Once you've completed assigning permission sets, return to the Mercury SMS Setup & Configuration tab and continue below to add Components.
