Publiceringsdatum: Jul 31, 2024
Beskrivning

Users are able to edit fields which are 'Read Only' as per Field Level Security or on the Page layout. This behavior is seen if the Profile associated with the User has 'Edit Read Only Fields' selected.

Note: Not all profiles have the Read Only Fields option.  For example, the Salesforce License Type will have the 'Edit Read Only Fields' option under System Permissions while the Experience Cloud User licenses will not.
