Get Hands-on with the View All Fields Permission

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

  • Allow users to view all fields for a specified object.
  • Create a new permission set named View Account Fields to complete your hands-on challenge.

Allow Users to View All Fields for a Specified Object

Simplify your permission management for those users who require broad data access. Assign the object-level View All Fields permission, which grants assignees access to all fields and field data for a specific object. This permission is available for all standard and custom objects that support field permissions. Users are automatically granted access to any new fields created for the object.

Salesforce recommends that you manage permissions in permission sets, not profiles. In Setup, select a permission set. On the Object Settings page for a specific object, enable the View All Fields permission, and then save the change.

This change applies to all editions of Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs).

It’s time to complete the hands-on challenge to maintain your Platform Administrator Certification.
