Explainer

Record types can be assigned on a user's profile, in permission sets or permission set groups, or in both, but those layers are not interchangeable. The profile is the only place that stores a default record type and the only place that can assign the system Master type; permission sets can grant only custom record types. Assignment decides which types the user can use when creating or editing a record, not whether they can view existing records of that type.

Core information

Assign record types to users in their profiles, in permission sets or permission set groups, or in a combination of those; record-creation behavior depends on which types each layer grants.

More details and nuances

Page layout assignments are specified in profiles only, not in permission sets. When a permission set specifies a custom record type, the user gets the page layout that the profile already assigns to that record type. Profiles require a page layout for every record type, even types the profile does not assign, because users can view records of every type.
