How Do I Enable API Access in Salesforce Lightning Experience by the Permission Set?

Before exploring the main steps of enabling Salesforce API Access, it is suggested to keep the following information in mind:

Editions with API Acess (the API is enabled by default):

• Enterprise
• Unlimited
• Developer
• Performance

Editions with no API Access :

• Contact
• Group
• Professional
• Spark

If you need to enable the API for CRM data migration to Contact, Group, or Professional Editions, just reach out to your Salesforce Account Executive for assistance.
