# Configure Marketing Objects

Complete some basic setup steps so that your users can work with marketing objects. Individual users can also configure their accounts so that the Data Management tab appears earlier in the list of Marketing tabs.

[View supported editions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mktg_editions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Marketing Cloud Next is available in Growth and Advanced editions, and requires Salesforce Enterprise or Unlimited editions. Some features are limited by edition or purchased add-on. All functionality is available in Lightning Experience only.").

## Add Marketing Object Permissions to Permission Sets

Before users can view, create, or delete marketing objects, configure the appropriate permissions. You can add the necessary permissions to the Marketing Cloud Admin, Marketing Cloud Manager, or any other permission set you use.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small permission">
          <colgroup>
            <col style="width:50%">
            <col style="width:50%">
          </colgroup>
          <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">
            <tr class="">
              <th scope="colgroup" class="slds-cell-wrap" colspan="2" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;" id="d77587e74">User Permissions Needed</th>
            </tr>
          </thead>
          <tbody>
            <tr class="">
              <td data-label="User Permissions Needed" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d77587e74 ">To modify user permissions:</td>

              <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d77587e74 ">Manage Users</td>

            </tr>
          </tbody>
        </table>

1. From Setup, enter Permission Sets in the Quick Find box, and then select **Permission Sets**.
