|| Standard profiles like **System Administrator** may show this permission as read-only. You cannot directly edit them.


## Troubleshooting

###### Permission is Grayed Out in Profile
* **Cause:** You're viewing a standard profile (not editable).
* **Solution:** Clone the profile and enable the permission in the custom version.

###### User License Doesn’t Support the Permission
* Go to the user's detail page and check the **User License** field.
* Only the following licenses support the permission:
    * **Salesforce**
    * **Salesforce Platform**
    * **Force.com - App Subscription**
* ❗ Not supported for: **Chatter Free**, **Chatter Only**, **Community**, etc.

| Contact your Salesforce administrator or Salesforce Support if you’re unable to grant the permission due to license restrictions or org-level limitations.
