Managing Field Level Security Settings

Users and groups traditionally are given Create, Edit, Read, and Delete permissions to records within Entities in Aptify. If a user is granted Edit permissions, this means that they may edit any field in the record. Granting Read permissions means that users have access to read data contained in any fields in the record. Field Level Security adds another layer of security, allowing administrators to determine who should or should not be able to see or edit specific data points or fields within a record.
Field Level security is implemented at the Entity level, maintained at the Entity Field level, and requires administrative permissions within Aptify for access to the Entities entity and associated sub-entities. With field level security, the ability to read and/or edit specific fields within a record is controlled.

Granting Read permissions within Field Level Security alters how users may use views for the entity. Users granted Read permission to the entity may read any record belonging to that entity. Removing Read permission for one field means that the users may still read any record for that entity, with the exception of that one field. If Field Level Security is configured to remove Read permissions on specific fields, users are not able to view data in those fields either on the records or in a view.
