- Select a field and click View Field Accessibility.
- Select a field from the dropdown, and then click a cell in the table to change the field's accessibility.
-
In the Field-Level Security section of the page, specify the field's access level for
the profile.
- If you want users to be able to read and edit the field, select Visible.
- If you want users to be able to read but not edit the field, select Visible and Read-Only.
- If you don’t want users to be able to read or edit the field, make sure both options are deselected.
Note We recommend that you use field-level security to control users’ access to fields rather than creating multiple page layouts to control field access. -
In the Page Layout section:
- Select the Remove or change editability radio button and then change the field access properties for the page layout. These changes will affect all profile and record type combinations that currently use this page layout.
- Alternatively, you can select the Choose a different page layout radio button to assign a different page layout to the profile and record type combination.
