Permission Update Event Type

Permission update events represent changes to object, field, and user permissions and setup entity access that occur in profiles and permission sets. The event type also tracks if you clone profiles or change whether session activation is required in permission sets or permission set groups.

For details about event monitoring, see the Trailhead Event Monitoring module or REST API Developer’s Guide.

This event type tracks if Salesforce updates object or field permissions in standard profiles, in addition to changes you make to your custom profiles, permission sets, and permission set groups.
