What can you do to skip creating custom badge definitions in a deployment?

Specifying exclusions for profiles and permission sets is a strategic approach to streamline the deployment process by avoiding the need for custom badge definitions. When you set exclusions for profiles and permission sets, you effectively indicate which users or groups should not trigger the creation of custom badges during a deployment. This allows you to manage user access more efficiently and minimize the complexity of the deployment, as it prevents the system from needing to create additional definitions for specific configurations that may not be necessary for every user.

In this context, managing user permissions and the deployment's scope becomes more precise, thereby allowing for a smoother and more controlled deployment process. While other actions such as removing user permissions or adjusting deployment flags may impact user access or deployment behavior, they do not specifically address the issue of avoiding custom badge creation as effectively as the exclusions approach. Increasing API limits mainly pertains to system capabilities for handling data volumes rather than the specific needs of deployment configurations and badges.
