The 35 articles still in their seed form previously carried a banner reading "Seed article. ... Domain stewards should expand, restructure, and refine as needed." For a community preview, that phrasing reads as "TODO left in production" to first-time visitors. Replace all three banner variants (performance-seeded, security-seeded, community-ported) with a single positive invitation: > Contributions welcome — open a PR to refine or extend this article. Content and structure of the articles are unchanged; only the leading quote block differs. Articles that had their banner fully stripped in the earlier triage pass (the showcase-grade ten) are unaffected.

Compose permission sets with IncludedPermissionSets
Contributions welcome — open a PR to refine or extend this article.
Description
The IncludedPermissionSets property lets one AL permission set reference another, composing rights out of smaller building blocks. Combined with Assignable = false on the building blocks, an extension can ship focused per-module units (a table-data cluster, an API-access cluster) and assemble role-shaped sets that include them. Adding an object updates one building block, and every role-shaped set that includes it inherits the change automatically — instead of drifting apart across duplicated definitions.
Best Practice
Break permission grants into small, focused building blocks, one per cohesive concern. Mark the building blocks Assignable = false so administrators do not accidentally assign a fragment. Build role-shaped, Assignable = true sets that reference the relevant building blocks through IncludedPermissionSets. When the extension grows, the structure absorbs the growth without duplicated edits.
See sample: compose-permission-sets-with-included-sets.good.al.
Anti Pattern
Declaring several role-shaped permission sets that each re-enumerate the same object lists. Adding a new table means touching every set by hand; the sets drift apart over time, and subtle authorization bugs appear where one role was updated and a sibling role was not.
