Option to deploy only permission set in targeted deploy

Feature requests
1

As the title says, it would be great if the targeted deploy could be used to only deploy updates to permission sets.

The background is that I had to do a hotfix and publish an update to one of my services in production, where I also had to make some changes to the permission sets of an object in the data model.

Since I have some pending changes in one of my apps, I used targeted deploy to publish only the service, but the changes to the permissions were not part of the deploy package even though the object is listed as updated in the change details.

I think it would be extremely useful to be able to make changes to permissions without having to deploy the entire solution (or any other things for that sake) :slight_smile:

Also, if anyone knows a workaround for this, I would love to hear it! I am currently unable to get the permissions into production, as they will not be sent through any partial deploy, and I am unable to do a full deploy to production anytime in the near future. I am currently forced to push all changes to stage and only run the service there (which is not ideal)

Hi,

Thank you for this great feature request!
We have already registered a ticket for handling permissions updates when deploying services and apps. The timeline is a bit uncertain, but the current outlook is that this will be implemented in Q3.

Being able to deploy only the permission set is an interesting idea with clear use cases. I will note this in our work on improving the capabilities of Targeted Deploy.

I am unaware of any workaround for this currently, but would also love to hear it if someone knows a clever solution!
