What are the differences between MetaAccess User Access and MetaDefender User Access in Permission Sets?
Overview
When OPSWAT’s MetaDefender for Salesforce installed, they create two key permission sets:
- MetaAccess User Access
- MetaDefender User Access
These permission sets are automatically assigned to all users, ensuring consistent security coverage across your Salesforce organization.
Although both are automatically assigned to all users in your Salesforce organization, they serve different purposes and require different license types.
