[SalesForce] Ant deployment: Error: Unknown user permission: EditPublicReports

I'm trying to get ant to deploy successfully.

My package.xml pulls in profiles such as this:

<types>
        <members>Admin</members>
        <members>Planning Administrators</members>
        <members>Planning Officer</members>
        <members>Planning User</members>
        <members>Technical Support Officers</members>
        <name>Profile</name>
</types>

These are retrieved from a sandbox and I'm trying to deploy them to a developer org.

On deployment I get these error messages:

All Component Failures:
1.  profiles/Admin.profile -- Error: Unknown user permission: DataExport
2.  profiles/Planning Officer.profile -- Error: Unknown user permission: EditPublicReports
3.  profiles/Planning Administrators.profile -- Error: Unknown user permission: EditPublicReports
4.  profiles/Technical Support Officers.profile -- Error: Unknown user permission: EditPublicReports

Are these new permissions introduced in an org update? How can I deploy these profiles?

The "Error: Unknown user permission: EditPublicReports" is because you have sharing report and dashboard folders switched on.

There are two solutions depending on whether you want this controlled at prolfile level or not.

Either:

Remove the EditPublicReports option from the XML
Go to Setup-> App Setup-> Reports & Dashboards->Folder Sharing and untick this option

[SalesForce] Can’t deploy org-wide permission set with ant

I have not been able to replicate this error. In a dev org I created an empty Permission Set with the User License set to none. I then retrieved it via Ant, deleted it from the org via the UI and then deployed it back via Ant.

My package.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>PermissionSet</name>
    </types>
    <version>26.0</version>
</Package>

My permission set's XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PermissionSet xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <label>GlobalTest</label>
    <userPermissions>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
        <name>ActivateContract</name>
    </userPermissions>
    <!-- All userPermissions were false; snipped for brevity -->
    <userPermissions>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
        <name>ViewSetup</name>
    </userPermissions>
</PermissionSet>

Perhaps you have some permission that is conflicting?

[SalesForce] “CreateWorkBadgeDefinition” error using Ant deploy on a profile

Same issue showed up on one of our Sandboxes just today. We worked around it by manually changing the Admin.Profile XML, forcing the permission to be set to False as the first userPermission in the list.

<userPermissions>
    <enabled>false</enabled>
    <name>CreateWorkBadgeDefinition</name>
</userPermissions>

This allowed the build to be successful, so we reverted the XML to the original version. To try this you need to use API v29 or higher.
