Restrict the Case Feed Access for the Standard Platform User in the CRM App
If Standard Platform users have access to the CRM app, several configurations are available to disable their visibility of internal or sensitive comments in the case feed.
These instructions assume that an Employee user is a Standard Platform user. If your organization created or cloned another custom profile and then assigned Employee users using this custom profile, the Employee user is associated with your custom profile configuration.
