Big Object entry and permissions

This article describes the management entry location, administrative permission assignment, and data permission scope for Big Objects.

Overview

This document explains the access entry for Big Objects in Setup, the configuration of administrative permissions (including default permission assignment for roles such as System Administrator and CRM Administrator), and the scope and limitations of basic data permissions and intra-department data permissions supported by Big Objects.

Step 1: Entry

Setup: Object Management > Big Object Management

Step 2: Permissions
