Subset of Users: Create a permission set with the Lightning Experience User permission for a subset of users.
All Users: Add the Lightning Experience User permission to custom profiles for a complete rollout.
Data Loader (Personalization):
Use Data Loader to update multiple profiles simultaneously, but ensure no other functions are unintentionally altered.
