Export Profiles and Permission Sets

Administrators can use this tool to export all user permissions into a single view for easy review and management. The export is done in the background to avoid timing out or exceeding the Salesforce Governor Limits. You will receive an email with a link to the Export Object Attachment record, where you can download your file.

Open Netwrix Dashboard > Tools > Export Objects. Open the Profiles & Permission Sets tab.
