Set Access Permissions for Fields
With
the field-level security, you can control the access rights of CRM
fields for various profiles. This will ensure smooth security at the
field-level, allowing users to access the fields that are relevant to
their job profile. If needed, you can also enable or disable views or
edit permissions for all the fields except the mandatory ones.
For
example, "Sales Stage" and "Amount" fields in the Potentials module may
not be required for a person looking at customer support. Similarly,
"Status" of the cases can be hidden for the users other than customer
support persons.
