Permission Sets

How can I customize the list of Permission Sets so that I can assign them to each user in a personalize way?
 
I know that I can copy an existing Permission Set and exlude specific objects or permissions, but my concern is: will these custom Permission Sets be affected or  lost after a system update?
 
For example, I need to configure a user who can register sales, purchases, customers, and items, but should not have access to accounting, or warehose/logistics.
 
What's the best practice for managing this type of setup?

    if you create a User-Defined permission set, the permission set will not lost after the system update.
     
    when creating a new permission set, I would suggest to first include the standard BC permission set, then you include or exclude permission on top of it.
    when there is an upgrade, Microsoft sometimes add or remove objects.
    With this approach, your permission set is generally safe because any changes on the standard BC permission set will also affect your custom permission set.

    Permission Sets
    Hi,
     
    Custom Permission Sets you create in Business Central are stored in your extension or tenant database, so they won’t be lost after a system update. Also, using the standard BC permission set to modify as required is one of the best practices as mentioned by Teddy.
     
    Thanks
