The first step is to specify the permission(s) we want to analyze. 

Permissions can be selected in multiple ways.

You can select targets from the permission graph. Lets look into our Objects ...

Here we click on "tab" to find out what is granting access to Account tab visibility ...

We can simultaneously search for what allows "create" (or any other setting) on Account ...

At this point you can just click "Search" and off we go!

You can also select permissions by using the finder.

Type in what you are looking for and click on a result to select ...

Lets add a second target permission while we are at it ...

NOTE: By default, search results will contain *at least one* of the selected permissions.

However, if we toggle "Exact Matches", the results must contain **ALL** listed selections!

OK, once again click search and you will be analyzing results in seconds!

Permission sets that enable our target permissions show up here.

TIP: Click on a result to quickly inspect in detail without leaving the page.

You can drill into a search result just like in the Permissions Summary page!
