Enable Query All Files permission

Question

I see from the release notes that you can allow a user to query all files, even ones they don't own. I'm having trouble giving myself that permission.

I have a system admin profile, with view all data

when I go to app permission under the system admin profile, it doesn't allow me to check the Query All Files permission

What am I missing to enable this permission?

Answer 1

It appears that you cannot give profiles the permission Query All Files. You need to create a permission set with that permission, that is found under App Permissions, and assign it to the user.
