## Permission Set Details

Details page contains the `Risk` and `Exposure Point` of the permission set, and the Information and Issues panes.

{% hint style="info" %}
A permission set is a template. Identity Center provisions it into each assigned account as a real IAM role, and the assigned users and groups assume that role at sign-in. So a permission set that carries `AdministratorAccess` grants admin in every account it reaches.
{% endhint %}
