Edit the association selection in the Associations tab. Users can select only associations configured in Access Builder Settings by an administrator. This tab varies as per the application.
Add permissions using the SELECT PERMISSION button. On the Add Permissions page, the applicable permissions are displayed for selection and are specific to each onboarded application.

Also, the permission is displayed for selection only if it is available in all the selected associations.
1. On the Add Permissions page, select the required permission, and click the + icon to add this permission.
  Note:
  Any changes made to profile associations after permissions are already added result in clearing such permissions and require re-configuring them.
