During a deployment from a preview instance, what is a recommended method to handle new user permissions that are not present in the GA version?

Using the Find and Replace feature in the Git Promotion is a recommended method to manage new user permissions that are not included in the General Availability (GA) version during a deployment from a preview instance. This method allows for targeted modifications in the version control system, enabling you to update specific permissions without having to alter the entire profile or permission set.

When dealing with new user permissions that may be introduced in a preview version but not yet in GA, utilizing the Find and Replace feature enables you to locate existing permissions and replace them with new ones efficiently. This way, you can ensure that users have the correct permissions aligned with the latest configurations, promoting better access management and adherence to security policies.

Other methods, such as manually editing profile permissions, can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially in environments with multiple profiles or complex permission sets. The Delete Command could inadvertently remove crucial permissions, and rolling back to a previous version could lead to a loss of other important updates and changes made after that point. Hence, the Find and Replace feature provides a controlled and efficient approach to managing the transition of new permissions.
