It would be helpful to have a permission set that allows users to sync Contacts with Absorb, and not see or edit the Absorb sync settings. Currently the permission set "Absorb LMS Administration Baseline" is the only one that successfully allows non-admins to sync Contacts with Absorb.
Although users may be able to edit the "Contact: Sync to Absorb" field, and the field we mapped for Absorb Department, the sync does not happen unless someone with the "Absorb LMS Administration Baseline" touches the record.
