When Field Level Security is applied to an entity, users accessing records in that entity who are not granted both Read and Edit permissions will see modified views and forms for any records they opened.

• Read Permissions Not Granted
• Edit Permissions Not Granted

Read Permissions Not Granted

If the user is not granted Read permissions to a particular field in an entity, the following restrictions are applied:

Modifications to the View

If the user has been denied Read permission to any fields in an entity, the user can no longer use that field in a view. The restricted fields do not appear in the Fields list when creating new views or updating existing ones.

If a view that contained this field already existed before field level security was applied, the view will fail to load for non-administrative users (system administrators will still see the field in the existing view but not in new views). Note that not all fields may display in this list, depending on how your system administrator has configured the service.

Modifications to the Form

If the user has been denied Read permission to any fields, the behavior of these types of fields on a form, (determined by a system administrator) is one of the following:

• Field is Hidden: The field is hidden on the form when the user opens a record from the entity. Note that fields on the form will not dynamically adjust their position based on the hidden field. It will be up to a form designer to minimize the visual impact of hiding certain fields on forms (such as fields secured by field level security should appear at the bottom so their absence will not be readily noticed).
• Field is Visible with Access Denied: The field displays on the form as usual when the user opens a record from that entity. However, the field is grayed out, and the message Access Denied, followed by the field name, replaces any data in that field.
  
   

All non-restricted fields for that entity appear as normal on the form and can be edited, assuming the user is granted Edit permissions for the fields.

Edit Permissions Not Granted

If Edit permissions are denied through the use of Field Level Security, the following restrictions are applied.

Modifications to the View

No modifications to the user's ability to use this field in a view are applied. Because the user can still read and access the data in the field, it is available for use in views.

Modifications to the Form

If the user has been denied Edit permissions, the fields and their data appear on the form as read-only for both new and existing records. Users may not enter data into that field on a new record, nor may they update the value of the restricted field.
