# Permissions

See where field permissions are enabled by using the Field Access Summary. In the enhanced profile user interface, Salesforce shows required changes to keep dependent permissions in alignment. Create transaction security policies to monitor or block critical permission updates in profiles. Review the release update that enables profile filtering by default.

- **[Review Field Access Across Profiles, Permission Sets, and Permission Set Groups](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_permissions_field_access.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    Save time by reviewing field-level security for a specific field in all profiles, permission sets, and permission set groups. Instead of going to individual Setup pages, you can view this information in one place in the Field Access Summary in Object Manager.
- **[Track Permission Dependencies More Easily](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_permissions_dependencies_modal.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    When you update permissions or apps in the enhanced profile user interface, you see any additional changes required to keep dependent permissions in alignment after previous updates. Previously, these changes occurred in the background, but were visible only in the Setup Audit Trail.
- **[See Permission Changes Affecting Guest and Agent Users](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_permissions_guest_agent_warning.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    To better protect your data, we now show a banner when you edit permissions for a permission set, permission set group, or profile that’s assigned to or created for an unauthenticated guest user or agent user. This notification helps you verify that the permissions and access settings included in these features are appropriate for the sensitivity of your data.
- **[Enable Profile Filtering (Release Update)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_permissions_profile_filtering_ru.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    To improve the security of your Salesforce org, the Profile Filtering setting is enabled by default. Profile filtering prevents users from viewing profile names other than their own unless they’re assigned the View All Profiles permission. If a user’s role requires them to see all profile names, assign them the View All Profiles permission before this release update is enforced. This update is available starting in Summer ’26.
- **[Monitor Administrative Changes to Profiles with Transaction Security Policies](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_permissions_transaction_security_policies.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    Generate tracking events when Salesforce admins modify or create user profiles that include critical permissions. Block unauthorized changes to critical profile permissions. Use Transaction Security Policies to monitor, alert on, and block permission updates in real time. These policies help you monitor elevated security privileges and maintain a robust auditing framework. You can also track the specific removal of the TransactionSecurity Exempt permission from profiles.
