You can also see the source of specific user permissions by clicking Information icon. The window that appears shows the profile or permission sets, or both, that grant access.

User permissions display in categories by standard object, custom object, setup entity access, and user permission.

Analyze by Assigned Permissions

The User Access and Permissions Assistant provides a variety of filters to help you view all users who are assigned the permission that you select. Information that shows for each permission includes the full name, username, alias, profile, active status, and last login for each user assigned that permission.

Analysis of user object permissions

For example, you want to find a list of all staff with the Manage Users permission. Use Analyze by Permission to filter by the Manage Users permission and review the information on each user with that permission.

Analyze Permission Set Group Details

These details include combined user, standard object, custom object, and setup entity access permissions. You can also view the permission sets in each permission set group and the users the group is assigned to.
