Explanation (150–250 words)
In Salesforce Revenue Cloud, managing lifecycle assets—including creating Asset Actions, Asset State Periods, and editing lifecycle-related fields—requires the Customer Asset Lifecycle Management permission set or equivalent access.
This permission enables users to:
Generate and update Asset Actions (e.g., Amend, Renew, Cancel).
Create and edit Asset State Periods for lifecycle tracking.
Modify fields on Lifecycle-managed Assets, which are governed by Subscription Management.
Without this permission, users cannot manipulate lifecycle structures that track asset events or transitions. Option B (“Lifecycle-managed asset”) refers to the object model concept, not a permission. Option C lists lifecycle action permissions but lacks the administrative scope to create and edit the underlying asset records and periods.
Exact Extract from Salesforce Subscription Management Implementation Guide:
“Users managing lifecycle assets, asset actions, or state periods must have the Customer Asset Lifecycle Management permission to access, create, or modify lifecycle-related records.”
