We strongly recommend that you use permission sets and permission set groups instead of profiles to manage your users’ field permissions. Because you can reuse smaller permission set building blocks, you can avoid creating dozens or even hundreds of profiles for each user and job function. For more information, see Permissions Sets in Salesforce Help.
