Importing Permissions, PermissionSets, and XML from DEV

Lets assume that I created an object in DEV, several permissions respect to that object were set -not necessarily by me- and now this object is deployed to production. If I want to retrieve all the information like field permissions, accessibility ones, etc etc, I know that information will be in the profiles and in the permissionSets folder. What I don't know is all the xml element types used to specify this information. Does anyone know this? What could be the case for classes?

Hi,

You can use below xml for permission Set for deploying 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>PermissionSet</name>
    </types>
    <version>26.0</version>
</Package>

Deploying profile is complicated, This may help you :

Hi Jose,

To find the particular Metadata (salesforce metadata) in XML, please find below links which might be useful to let you know all the available Metadata's:
