Permission sets in Salesforce are powerful but have limitations. They cannot restrict access to records; they can only expand permissions. Also, permission dependency can be complicated since removing a permission involves checking all permission sets for an inadvertent dependency. Additionally, mass assignment or revocation of permission sets is not straightforward, making bulk management difficult. Finally, merging permission sets to streamline user permissions is not supported, often necessitating multiple permission sets for complex access needs.
