            Guidelines and Considerations

            • To use this action, you must also add the Identify User Permissions by Name action to your agent.
            • 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.
            • To complete a task or access a feature, users sometimes must be assigned additional object or field permissions, which aren’t returned by this action.
            • If the user is assigned user permissions via a session-based permission set, the action returns the user permissions whether the permission set is activated or not.
