# Enable Object Permissions in Permission Sets

Object permissions determine the base-level access users have to create, read, edit, and delete records for each object. Permissions sets are the recommended feature for managing object permissions.

Tip Instead of completing this task manually, get help from Setup with Agentforce. For example, tell the Setup agent, “Update permission set Sales\_Operations to enable the Read permission for accounts.” For more information, see [User Access Management in Setup with Agentforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.setup_agentforce_user_access.htm&language=en_US).

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Permission Sets, and then select **Permission Sets**.
2. Select a permission set.
3. In the Find Settings... box, enter the name of the object and select it from the list. Click **Edit**,
4. In the Object Permissions section, enable the desired permissions.
5. Click **Save**.

On the object’s page, you can also edit tab settings, record type settings, and field permissions.

You can see and edit all object permissions that are enabled for a permission set on its summary page. On the permission set’s detail page, click **View Summary**. You can also see which permission sets grant access to an object and edit this access for custom permission sets in Object Manager. Select an object, and then click **Object Access**.
