Hello,
From your screenshot, this is not really a permission-set error that needs to be fixed. You are viewing the conflict between the Essential license entitlement and the SUPER permission set. SUPER grants access to all objects within the scope of the user's license, but the Essential license doesn't entitle the user to every Business Central object, so Business Central displays those permissions as (reduced). License entitlements always take precedence over permission sets; assigning SUPER cannot give an Essential user access to Premium-only functionality. I would therefore not try to modify SUPER or remove this conflict. If the user is receiving an actual permission error while using normal Essential functionality, open Users → User Card → Effective Permissions and check the specific object—the source will show whether the restriction comes from the Entitlement (license) or from the assigned permission sets. If the required functionality is Premium-only, the user needs a Premium license; otherwise assign the appropriate permission set for that functionality.

Hi,
This is not a permission-set error. In Business Central, the Essential license limits the objects/features available to the user, and the SUPER permission set cannot override those license restrictions. The “Reduced” permissions shown are therefore expected.
If the user is facing an actual access issue, check Users → User Card → Effective Permissions to identify whether the restriction is due to the license entitlement or permission set. If the functionality is Premium-only, a Premium license is required.

Aman

Hi, I don't think there's anything to resolve here. That page isn't showing an error, it compares what the permission set gives against what the license allows. SUPER gives everything, table 0 there means all table data, and no license covers literally everything. So against Essential it shows (reduced), meaning as far as I understand the license wins and cuts SUPER down to what Essential is entitled to.
In practice a SUPER user on Essential works fine, they just can't use what Essential doesn't include, manufacturing and service management for example. If someone really needs those it's a Premium license question, not a permission one.
If a real user is blocked somewhere, I'd look at Effective Permissions from the user card for that specific object, it tells you if the limit comes from the permission set or from the license.

Glad to help - follow up if anything is unclear.
