Guidelines and Considerations
This action uses the Identify Object By Name (Object Management) action. Review considerations for this
action in Salesforce Help.
When specifying the user whose access you’re checking, use the user’s full name or ID
instead of the user’s email or username.
For better results, include the word “object” in questions about a user’s object
permissions.
If the user is assigned object permissions via a session-based permission set, the action
returns the object permissions whether the permission set is activated or not.
