Permissions for Testing Center tests
Key Takeaway
First find out which Testing Center the team uses. The legacy Agentforce Testing Center in Setup needs Manage AI Agents plus the required permissions for the agent type being tested. The new Testing Center in Agentforce Studio (Beta) needs both Manage Agentforce Grids and Manage Agentforce Testing.
Testing Center lets you store and rerun batches of tests against an agent, so you don't have to retest by hand every time something changes. There are two versions: the legacy Agentforce Testing Center in Setup, and the new Testing Center in Agentforce Studio (Beta). Each version needs a different set of user permissions before someone can build tests.
Permissions for each Testing Center
Before you grant access, find out which Testing Center the team uses, because the two versions have separate permission rules. Both rules use AND, so a user needs both parts of the rule, not just one of them.
| Permissions a user needs | Not enough on its own | |
|---|---|---|
| Legacy Agentforce Testing Center in Setup | To create and run tests: Manage AI Agents AND the required permissions for the agent type being tested (agent-type permissions) | Manage AI Agents without the agent-type permissions |
| New Testing Center in Agentforce Studio (Beta) | To create tests: Manage Agentforce Grids AND Manage Agentforce Testing | Manage Agentforce Grids alone, or Manage Agentforce Testing alone |
In the legacy Testing Center, a user who uploads a CSV file of test cases also needs "File Upload" permissions. Without them, a user who has Manage AI Agents and the agent-type permissions can still be blocked from uploading a test file.
