## Guidelines and Considerations

- This action uses the Identify Object By Name (Object Management) action. Review [considerations for this action](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.setup_agent_action_identify_object_by_name.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Admins can use this action under Object Management to interpret user input and determine which object the user is referring to. It returns a list of all matching objects available under Object Manager.") in Salesforce Help.
- When specifying the user whose access you’re checking, use the user’s full name or ID instead of the user’s email or username.
- For better results, include the word “object” in questions about a user’s object permissions.
- If the user is assigned object permissions via a session-based permission set, the action returns the object permissions whether the permission set is activated or not.
