Field-Level Security for Permission Sets During Field Creation

Would you know about the feature - Field-Level Security for Permission Sets During Field Creation in Salesforce?

Why this feature - Field-Level Security for Permission Sets During Field Creation:

When you create a field on an object, you may now maintain best practices and configure field-level security for a field using permission sets rather than profiles. In addition, rather than manually granting access to each permission set's field, you can configure field-level security on permission sets during field creation. This option is also available when you enable field-level security or change the field type on a field.

How: Enable Field-Level Security for Permission Sets During Field Creation (beta) in User Management Settings.

Field-Level Security

For an example :

When I enabled the Salesforce org feature and created a new Field called Source of account on the Account object, While providing field-level security, the following screen will display all the permission set details in the org. So using this we can add the field-level permissions on the permission set

Field-Level Security

Things to Take note of:

  • The list contains the permissions set with Create, Read, Edit, and Delete access to the field's object. If no permission sets have access to the field's object, the list includes all permission sets.
  •  The View Field Accessibility page does not currently support permission sets.
