Occasionally you might need to assign a permission set for the deployment user to successfully install the package, run apex tests or functional tests, sfp provides you an easy mechanism to assign permission set either before installation or after installation of an artifact.\
\
**assignPermSetsPreDeployment** assumes the permission sets are already deployed on the target org and proceed to assign these permission sets to the user

<pre><code> {
      "path": "src/health-cloud",
      "package": "health-cloud",
      "versionName": "health-cloud-1.0",
      "versionNumber": "1.0.0.0",
      "<a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-1">assignPermSetsPreDeployment</a>": [
        "HealthCloudFoundation",
        "HealthCloudSocialDeterminants",
        "HealthCloudAppointmentManagement",
        "HealthCloudVideoCalls",
        "HealthCloudUtilizationManagement",
        "HealthCloudMemberServices",
        "HealthCloudAdmin",
        "HealthCloudApi",
        "HealthCloudLimited",
        "HealthCloudPermissionSetLicense",
        "HealthCloudStandard",
        "HealthcareAssociatedInfectionDiseaseGroupAccess"
      ]
    },
</code></pre>

[^1]: use assignPermSetsPreDeployment for assigning permission sets before installing an artifact
