Example
To follow best practices for user access control, you plan to assign permissions through
permission sets and permission set groups. For easier permission set management, turn on
Field-Level Security for Permission Sets during Field Creation. When you
create a field, you can then set field-level security on your permission sets as part of the
workflow.
Now when you create a field on an object, set field-level security on a field, or change a
field’s type, you assign field-level security for permission sets instead of profiles.
