To grant users access to an entity, associate the appropriate SetupEntityAccess record with a PermissionSet that’s assigned to a user.

Special Access Rules
As of Spring ’20 and later, only users with "View Setup and Configuration" permission can access this object.
Fields
Usage
Because SetupEntityAccess is a child of the PermissionSet object, the usage is similar to other PermissionSet child objects like FieldPermissions and ObjectPermissions.
For example, the following code returns all permission sets that grant access to any
setup entities for which access is
enabled:
The following code returns permission sets that grant access only to Apex
classes:
The following code returns permission sets that grant access to any setup entities, and
are not owned by a
profile:
You may want to return only those permission sets that have access to a specific setup
entity. To do this, query the parent object. For example, this code returns all
permission sets that grant access to the helloWorld Apex
class:
While it’s possible to return permission sets that have access to a
ConnectedApplication, ServiceProvider, or
TabSet by SetupEntityId, it’s not possible
to return permission sets that have access to these SetupEntityType
fields by any other AppMenuItem attribute, such as Name or
Description. For example, to find out if a user has access to
the Recruiting app, you’d run two queries. First, query to get the AppMenuItem
ID:
Let’s say the previous query returned the AppMenuItem ApplicationId
02uD0000000GIiMIAW. Using this ID, you can now run a query to find out if a user has
access to the Recruiting
app:
