# Use the Apex Access Methods

The `Access` class provides utility methods to check Integration User access to sObjects and sObjectFields. Use these methods in your `WaveTemplateConfigurationModifier` implementation.

Apex is the object-oriented Salesforce programming language that allows developers to execute flow and transaction control statements on the Lightning Platform server along with calls to the API.

Using `Access` in a smart wizard simplifies standard app creation in these ways:

- Checks if the Integration User has access to sObjects.
- Checks if the Integration User has access to sObjectFields.
- Checks if the Integration User has access to enough records in an sObject to continue with template processing.

The `Access` methods can also be used with embedded apps to check if the org has given access to the Integration User for the necessary sObjects and sObjectFields. In this use case, you can fail app creation with a clear message for the Auto-Install request.

For complete details about Apex, see [Apex Developer Guide](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_dev_guide.htm).
