# service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-access-assign

Gives one named user access to CMDB data in Service Cloud ITSM by assigning the license-backed permission sets. Use it when the org feature is on and the user still hits a 403.

## What it does

This skill opens CMDB in Service Cloud ITSM for a single person: it assigns the license-backed permission sets together with their permission-set licenses. Every call goes through Salesforce's `headless-360` MCP server, and the org comes from the OAuth session, so production and sandboxes behave the same way without any org id or alias. Four meta-tools do the work: `discover`, `describe`, `dispatch_readonly` for reads and `dispatch` for writes.

There are four permission sets to pick from. Reader (`ItSrvcCnfgItmReadPermissionSet`) covers configuration items, Owner lets someone edit them, Type Reader exposes types, Type Manager runs the type catalog. A viewer needs Reader plus Type Reader — that pair is also what the skill falls back to when no role is named. Anyone deploying content bundles needs Type Manager instead, because the other sets still leave bundle reads returning `403 FUNCTIONALITY_NOT_ENABLED`.

Think of it as the third layer of CMDB setup. User-level grants do nothing while the org-level feature stays off, so `service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-configure` has to run first. API version 67.0 is the floor, and the MCP session must point at the org you actually mean.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-access-assign -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-access-assign/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-access-assign/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-access-assign -a codex
```

## When to use it
- give one developer read access to CMDB configuration items
- clear a 403 FUNCTIONALITY_NOT_ENABLED on an org where CMDB is already on
- hand Type Manager to whoever deploys CMDB content bundles
- check which CMDB permission sets a user already holds
- grant CMDB access in a sandbox without touching org config

## Example prompts
- Give ivan.petrov@example.com read-only CMDB access.
- Assign Type Manager to ops@example.com in our sandbox.
- This user still gets 403 on `bundleListView`. Look at their CMDB permission sets and fix it.

Use when the user asks to give someone CMDB access, assign CMDB permission sets, grant a user the Configuration Item Reader/Owner role, or fix a CMDB 403 FUNCTIONALITY_NOT_ENABLED that a user still hits after the CMDB feature is already enabled. Triggers on: assign CMDB permission set, grant CMDB access, give user Configuration Item access, CMDB access for user, user still gets CMDB 403 after enable. DO NOT TRIGGER when: the user wants to turn on the CMDB feature or provision the CMDB tenant for the whole org (that is the CMDB feature-enable skill), only install a CMDB content bundle, work with CMDB records directly, or assign general (non-CMDB) permission sets to users (use dx-org-permission-set-assign)."
