|---|---|
| To enable profile filtering: | Customize Application |
If profile filtering is disabled, users can see all profile names, regardless of which permissions they have. If you enable profile filtering, you can restrict who sees profile information to the users who require the access for their job roles. To allow selected users to view all profiles, you can enable the View All Profiles permission for them. Users with these permissions can also view all profiles: Customize Application, Manage Users, Manage Profiles and Permission Sets, Create and Set Up Experiences, Manage Customer Users, Manage External Users, and Delegated External User Administrator.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter User, and then select User Management Settings.
- Enable Profile Filtering.
With Profile Filtering enabled, some users can still see profile names in specific scenarios. Profile names are exposed when users with permissions to perform these tasks take these actions:
- View the Setup Audit Trail if they have the View Setup and Configuration permission.
- Create a tab or record type with a wizard step that includes the assignment of tabs and record types to profiles.
- Set up delegated admins where looking up profiles is necessary to identify assignable profiles.
- Administer Salesforce as a delegated external user admin.
- Administer Salesforce as a delegated admin to view and assign profiles of the delegated group.
