ProfileShift – Profile to Permission Set
Convert Salesforce Profiles into Permission Sets
ProfileShift helps Salesforce teams modernize security by converting legacy Profiles into clean, deployable Permission Sets. Unlike manual migration or CLI-heavy workflows, it reads Profile metadata directly from your authenticated org, lets you review and edit permissions in-browser, generates minimal Permission Set XML, and can deploy changes via the Salesforce Metadata API—all with no OAuth setup and no external servers.
👋 Hi Product Hunt!
I'm Kartik, a Salesforce Developer and Consultant, and I'm excited to share **ProfileShift** with you today.
Over the years, I've worked with many Salesforce orgs where Profiles had grown incredibly complex. As Salesforce continues to encourage Permission Set–based security, migrating from legacy Profiles has become a common challenge—but the process is often manual, repetitive, and difficult to validate.
That's why I built **ProfileShift**.
ProfileShift helps Salesforce admins and developers convert existing Profiles into clean, deployable Permission Sets directly from the browser. It reads Profile metadata from your authenticated org, lets you review and edit permissions, generates minimal Permission Set XML, and can even deploy the result using the Salesforce Metadata API.
A few things that make it different:
✅ No OAuth setup required
✅ No external servers
✅ No data collection or tracking
✅ Fully client-side processing
✅ Deploy-ready Permission Set metadata
✅ Open source
My goal was to create a tool that makes Salesforce security modernization faster, safer, and more transparent.
I'd love to hear your feedback:
* What challenges have you faced when moving from Profiles to Permission Sets?
* What features would make this even more useful for your Salesforce workflow?
Thanks for checking out ProfileShift, and I'm happy to answer any questions! 🚀
