The search terms aren't case-sensitive. As you type, suggestions for results that match your search terms appear in a list. Click an item in the list to go to its settings page.

If you don’t get any results, don’t worry. Here’s some tips that can help: - Check if the search term has at least three consecutive characters that match the object, setting, or permission name. - The permission, object, or setting you're searching for might not be available in the current Salesforce org. - The item you’re searching for might not be available for the user license that’s associated with the current permission set. For example, a permission set with the Standard Platform User license doesn’t include the “Modify All Data” permission. - The permission set license associated with the permission set doesn’t include the object, setting, or permission name you’re searching for. #### See Also - [Permission Sets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_sets_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that give users access to various tools and functions.
