The Winter ‘25 release brings a fantastic new feature to Salesforce admins: the ability to quickly view object permissions directly in Object Manager. If you’ve ever needed to troubleshoot access issues or ensure security compliance, this new update is designed to simplify your workflow. Join us to Quickly Check Object Access/Permissions in Object Manager: Winter ’25 Update.
Introducing the Object Access in Object Manager
In the Object Manager, you can now find a new Object Access menu item in the sidebar. This provides a read-only summary of the permission sets, permission set groups, and profiles that grant access to any given object. Whether you need to see who can read, create, edit, or delete records, the Object Access Summary gives you a clear, consolidated view of all relevant permissions.
How This Improves Your Admin Workflow:
- Troubleshoot Faster: No more jumping between profiles or permission sets to diagnose access issues. With the Object Access Summary, all the necessary details are in one place, saving time and reducing complexity.
- Perform Security Reviews with Ease: If you’re conducting a security review or preparing for a compliance audit, having a comprehensive view of object permissions makes it easier to ensure your data is protected and that the right people have the correct access levels.
- Inform Decision-Making: With clear visibility into how object access is granted, you can confidently make changes to permissions, knowing that you’re maintaining security while giving users the access they need to perform their jobs.
Why It Matters:
This update is a game-changer for Salesforce admins who are focused on security, transparency, and user experience. Access issues can be complex, but with the new Object Access Summary, you’ll have the tools you need to make informed decisions and resolve potential problems before they impact your users.
Where it is:
To access the Object Access feature, go to Setup, navigate to Object Manager, and select an object. In the sidebar, click on Object Access.
Before Winter 25 release Object Access was not available
Final Thoughts:
Salesforce is committed to improving the admin experience, and this new feature is a prime example. The ability to quickly check object permissions not only streamlines your day-to-day tasks but also enhances your ability to maintain a secure and compliant Salesforce environment.
