Sister ticket of  

I just converted to NXT (and yes I am open to accepting sympathies via DM) and now that we’ll be using Permission Bundles more, we MUST have a way to export and report on users assigned to Permission Bundles.

When you have 2000+ users, the user display of 10 users at a time just does not cut it.

Hi all — thanks for keeping this thread alive, and appreciate the nudge ​@darkknight .

I've been reading through the full thread carefully. The original ask was about user-to-bundle assignment reporting — knowing which users are assigned to which bundles, and catching gaps at scale.

@darkknight recent comment adds a related but different dimension — with Field Permissions now available, there's no way to inspect across bundles what permissions are configured for a specific object or field without manually opening each one.

A couple of questions to make sure we are solving the right problem:
1. Is the visibility gap limited to Field Permissions, or does it extend to Navigation Permissions and Data Permissions as well?
2. Is the core frustration about inspecting configurations across bundles — OR is it about understanding what a user ultimately ends up with when everything is applied together?

To be transparent — our current focus is on granular permission scopes for MCP integrations and access logs for SIEM tools, both driven by enterprise security needs. This one isn't on the immediate roadmap, but the answers above will help me make sure it's framed and prioritized correctly when we get to it. Will update here when there's movement.

@Kartheek as user populations grow, platforms expand/converge and security/compliance requirements get stricter, we need to be able to quickly determine all of the above.

  • we need to be able to retrieve (and export) what users are assigned to which permission bundles
  • we need to be able to retrieve (and export) what each permission bundle gives access to, both functionality and field/data accessibility 
  • we need to be able to correlate all of the above both for platform managers to be able to quickly identify,  and/or resolve issues with, accessibility, but even more importantly for if/when IT security asks for this information during audits It won’t take days of manual chasing to put it all together

Now more than ever, with AI / MCP in the mix, it’s becoming critical for platform managers to have quick access to this information.

Double-tapping on what ​@darkknight said, particularly focusing on AI / MCP -- if and when we get a permission bundle for MCP access, we’ll need to be able to quickly review who has what permissions. This would also be incredibly useful for building out an admin-focused dashboard so our Ops team could review user permissions at a glance.

+1 especially around increased MCP use
