Audit user and group permissions across apps

Enabled for Public preview General availability
Users, automatically - May 1, 2026

Business value

As an admin, this new capability empowers you to clearly understand how permissions flow through your environment, reducing security blind spots and improving compliance. By viewing expanded permissions across all apps and extensions in one place, you can quickly identify which permission sets grant access to specific objects or actions, such as who can edit a customer record. The ability to filter by object, scope, extension, or permission set enables faster, more accurate analysis during audits or troubleshooting. With integrated FactBoxes showing related security groups and users, your organization gains immediate visibility into who is affected by each permission set, strengthening overall security governance.

Feature details

The new Permissions Overview page provides comprehensive visibility into permission sets across all installed apps and extensions.

Key capabilities:

  • View permissions from all apps and extensions in a unified view.
  • Filter data by object, scope, extension, or permission set to quickly find specific permissions.
  • Identify which permission sets grant access to a specific object (for example, which sets allow editing customer records).
  • Use FactBoxes that show which security groups and users are assigned each permission set.

This centralized view helps administrators analyze permission dependencies, conduct security audits, and troubleshoot access issues without navigating multiple pages or extensions.
