I have a salesforce org where all my user's are system admin . I'am creating a checkbox field on Campaign and want it to be editable only with the Code and not from the detail page .
I have assigned read only permission to the field but still it is editable from the page layout (because I am system admin) . Is there any way I can make it non-editable from the detail page?
If you have any accounts like System Admin with 'Edit Read Only fields' permission then it will not be possible to prevent the users with that profile from being able to edit the field.
You can clone the System Adminstrator profile and remove the 'Edit Read Only fields' permission from the System Permissions then move the users to this new profile and that will resolve this problem.
As an aside why are all the users on System Administrator profile? It would be better to give them a more restricted profile with only the permissions that their role needs? Best practice is to grant minimum permissions to the users profiles to perform their activities not to allow all users full administrator permissions.
You can write a validation rule,
$User.Email != '[email protected]'
replace your email with [email protected], in this case only your user can change, otherwise they'll see validation rule email.
