Note This action is no longer being updated. We recommend that you use Setup with Agentforce, which can help with many more administrative tasks and is automatically updated with new functionality. For more information, see [Setup with Agentforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.setup_agentforce_overview.htm&language=en_US).

## Guidelines and Considerations

- To use this action, you must also add the Identify User Permissions by Name action to your agent.
- 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.
- To complete a task or access a feature, users sometimes must be assigned additional object or field permissions, which aren’t returned by this action.
- If the user is assigned user permissions via a session-based permission set, the action returns the user permissions whether the permission set is activated or not.
