# Assigning Permissions

Veeam Data Cloud Salesforce Extension controls access to its functionality with the help of permission sets. A permission set defines what operations users can perform in the Veeam Data Cloud Salesforce Extension UI.

There are 3 permission sets that you can assign to users working with the product:

- **VBSF Package Administrator** — can perform all configuration actions, can access Veeam Data Cloud for Salesforce, and can also view and restore archived object records. 
- **VBSF Archive Viewer User** — can view archived object records. Note that users assigned this permission set alone cannot restore object records.
- **VBSF Restore Archived Data** — can restore archived object records. Note that users assigned this permission set alone cannot view object records.
- **VBSFPackageAPIAccess** — can send API requests and use [named credentials](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.named_credentials_about.htm&type=5) as callout endpoints. Note that users assigned this permission set alone can neither view nor restore object records.

::: important

- For a user to be able to view archived records of an object, they must not only be assigned the *VBSF Archive Viewer User* set but also have the permissions required to read the object data in Salesforce. For more information on the required permissions, see [Salesforce documentation](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_profiles_field_perms.htm&type=5)
- For a user to be able to restore data of an object, they must not only be assigned the *VBSF Restore Archived Data* set but also have the permissions required to modify the object data in Salesforce. For more information on the required permissions, see [Salesforce documentation](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_profiles_field_perms.htm&type=5).
- Veeam Data Cloud Salesforce Extension does not support Salesforce sharing rules. 

:::

To assign a permission set to a user, do the following:

1. Switch to the **Getting Started** tab.
2. In the **Select Objects and Provide Access** section, click **Assign Permission**.
3. Follow the instructions provided in [this Salesforce KB article](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.assign_permission_set_to_user.htm&type=5).
