Permissions Assistant — screenshot from the Salesforce AppExchange listing

What it does

Searches Salesforce profiles, permission sets, and permission set groups, then compares users, profiles, and permissions side by side. Stores snapshots for comparisons across dates and connected orgs. An org overview reports on access settings, users with elevated risk, permissions not in use, inactive users, and recent changes. The app is native to Salesforce and uses no external data storage.
