1. User Permissions
User permissions determine what tasks users can perform and what features users can access. For example, users with the “View Settings and Configuration” permission can see the settings page, and users with the “API Enabled” permission can access all Salesforce APIs.
You can enable user permissions in permission sets and custom profiles. In advanced profile permission sets and user interfaces, these permissions and their descriptions appear on the Application Permissions or System Permissions pages. In the original profile user interface, user permissions are listed under Administrator permissions and General user permissions.
To view permissions and their descriptions, in Settings, enter Permission Sets in the Quick Find box, select Permission Sets, and then select or create a permission set. Then, on the Permission Set Overview page, click Application Permissions or System Permissions.
2. Object Permissions
Object permissions determine the basic access users have to create, read, modify, and delete records for each object. You can manage object permissions with permission sets and profiles
Object permissions respect or override sharing rules and settings. The following permissions determine the access a user has to an object.
- Read
- Create
- Delete
- Edit
- View All
- Modify All
3. Field Permissions
Field permissions determine the level of access to each field within an object. In the permission sets and the extended profile UI, the settings labels are different from the labels in the original profile UI and field-level security pages for customizing fields.
