Control Subtab App Visibility in Salesforce Classic

After you configure subtab apps, you can specify which users can see specific tabs on the profile page.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic
Available in: Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
User Permissions Needed
To view apps: View Setup and Configuration
To manage apps: Customize Application

To control the visibility of tabs within a subtab app:

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Profiles, and then select Profiles.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Original profile user interface—Click Edit next to the profile you want to modify and scroll to the Tab Settings section.
    • Enhanced profile user interface—Click the profile you want to modify and click Object Settings. Click the object you want to modify and click Edit.
    Note
    Note Some profiles, including Chatter External and Chatter Free users, don’t have the permissions to view subtab apps.
  3. Change the tab settings.
    End users can’t customize the display of subtab apps. Administrators can hide tabs within subtab apps using the Tab Hidden option in Tab Settings. Users can see tabs set to Default Off and Default On.
  4. (Original profile user interface only) To reset users’ tab customizations to the tab visibility settings that you specify, select Overwrite users’ personal tab customizations.
  5. Click Save.
