Difficulty: EasyProfiles and Object/Field-Level Security

Northern Trail Outfitters wants to restrict access to a custom currency field, Bonus_Amount__c, on the Employee Review object so that general sales managers cannot view, search for, or report on this field anywhere within Salesforce. Which configuration setting should the administrator modify to restrict field access across the entire platform?

  1. Field-Level Security (FLS) settings for the Bonus_Amount__c field on the profiles assigned to sales managers.Answer
  2. B
    Component visibility rules on the Employee Review Lightning Record Page using Dynamic Forms.
  3. C
    A new custom profile created individually for each sales manager needing unique access permissions.
  4. D
    Login IP Ranges specified under Organization-Wide Network Access settings in Setup.

Answer

Field-Level Security (FLS) settings for the Bonus_Amount__c field on the profiles assigned to sales managers.
Configuring Field-Level Security (FLS) ensures that specified profiles cannot view or edit the target field anywhere in Salesforce, including page layouts, standard and custom reports, list views, global search, and API queries.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the security scope required
Access must be restricted comprehensively across reports, list views, search results, and API access.
UI-only restrictions are insufficient for complete data security.
2
Evaluate Salesforce security mechanisms
Field-Level Security (FLS) directly enforces field visibility and edit permissions at the platform data layer.
FLS overrides page layouts and UI visibility to secure data everywhere in Salesforce.
