# Access Agentforce Studio and the New Agentforce Builder

The Agentforce Studio app is the home of the new Agentforce Builder and a central hub for building, testing, and monitoring your agents. By default, Agentforce Studio is available in the App Launcher to all users in orgs with access to Agentforce. Each feature within Agentforce Studio requires its own permissions.

To access the new Agentforce Builder, from the App Launcher, find and select **Agentforce Studio**, and then click **Agents**. All users with access to Agentforce Studio can see the Agents tab. To see the Agents list view and access Agentforce Builder:

- [Einstein must be enabled for the org.](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.generative_ai_enable.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Set up Einstein generative AI to get access to powerful generative AI features.")
- [Agentforce must be enabled for the org.](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.agent_setup_enable.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Turn on Agentforce to start building, customizing, testing, and launching AI agents.")
- The user must have the Manage AI Agents permission.

Tip Because the new Agentforce Builder lives outside of Setup, you can empower users across your business to build agents without granting admin-level permissions—just assign the Manage AI Agents permission.

Users with this permission can manage, activate, and deactivate agents, customize subagents and actions, and monitor agent activity. Assign this permission only to users who require org-wide management access to all agents.

To manage user access to the Agentforce Studio app, [manage user profile assignments for the app in Lightning App Builder](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.apps_lightning_customize.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
