# Compare Users, Profiles, Permission Sets, and Permission Set Groups

Some lenses in the Who Sees What Explorer tab include a Compare option. Use the Compare option to compare object, field, and permission access between users, profiles, permission sets, and permission set groups. The "Objects & Fields" lens provides quick comparisons of Read and Edit access. In the "System Permissions" lens, compare permission assignments.

1. Click the Compare button. A second text box is displayed to the right of the button.
2. Enter a User, Profile, Permission Set, or Permission Set Group into each text box and select it from the drop-down list. The "Objects & Fields" lens is selected by default and the two selections are displayed side-by-side.
3. Click the "System Permissions" button to compare assigned permissions.

The Compare feature includes the ability to download an .xlsx version of the compared users, profiles, permission sets, and permission set groups.
