## Object and Field Permissions
Salesforce object permissions define what actions users can perform on object records, while field permissions control visibility and editability of fields.
| PERMISSION | DESCRIPTION |
| ---------- | ----------------------- |
| Read | View records only |
| Create | Create new records |
| Edit | Update existing records |
| Delete | Remove records |
* **For Vault Backups:** Users need **read** access to relevant objects, fields, files, and metadata.
* **For Restore, Replicate, Archive:** Users need **create**, **edit**, and **delete** permissions.
* Ensure integration users have access to **Metadata**, **SOAP**, **Bulk**, and **Tooling APIs**.
