# Understand and Plan for Einstein Activity Capture User Permissions

To complete your migration to Einstein Activity Capture, your users must be assigned an Einstein Activity Capture user permission. Until you do, your users’ contacts and events continue syncing with Lightning Sync, and users don’t get access to Einstein Activity Capture features. See which licenses include the user permission, and what users get with the different types.

Einstein Activity Capture users are required to be assigned one of these user permissions:

- Use Einstein Activity Capture Standard
- Use Einstein Activity Capture

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_productivity-264-0-0-production-enus/b2f6c36a-fa61-4a3c-9752-032ce1818a69/images/icon_important.png)

Important Depending on the Salesforce licenses that your users have today, some users have the user permission already. For others, you must assign it manually. In some cases, additional licenses must be purchased. These considerations could impact when your users get access to Einstein Activity Capture features and sync. See [Considerations for Migrating to Einstein Activity Capture](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.lightning_sync_move_consider.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

This table shows which licenses include an Einstein Activity Capture user permission.

## Resources for Exploring Your Users’ Licenses and Permission Assignments

- To see a list of all the licenses in your org (assigned and available) see [View Your Organization’s User Licenses](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=platform.users_license_types_view.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
- To see a list of which users are assigned to a certain user permission, view your permission sets from Setup. Then open the permission set you’re interested in, and click **Manage Assignments.**.
- If you assigned your Lightning Sync users to configurations by profile instead of individually, you also must explore who is assigned to each user profile. See [View a Profile’s Assigned Users](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=users_profiles_assigned_users.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
- To see the licenses and perms assigned user-by-user, view the user’s profile. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Users, and then select **Users**. Click a users’ profile to view it. To see what license a user has, check out the User License field. To see what user permissions they’re assigned to, see the Permission Set Assignments related list. To see what add-on licenses they’re assigned to, check out the Permission Set License Assignments related list.
