Check Update permissions on object instance/record

We can use Schema.sObjectType.Contact.isUpdatable() to check if the current user has permissions to update Contact objects in general.

I want this for dynamic object.my object name is within the objName string variable.

Hi Chenta

Try this
  
String objName = 'Account';
Boolean isUpdateableAccount = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(objName).getDescribe().isUpdateable();

Hello Chetna, 

you can use below code to pass the object name in string.

String customObjectName = 'CustomObjectName__c';
Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
Schema.SObjectType s = gd.get(customObjectName);
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = s.getDescribe();
system.debug('***********'+r.isUpdateable());

Thanks,
Avi
