Can someone help me with validation rule against Contact.

We have a contact named 'Anonymous Contact' which we are using in several process builders etc.. and I would like to do a validation rule that no one else can edit that contact card (first name & last name or anything else in the contact card) than System Administrator. And this validation rule should apply only on this particular contact.

You can use below validation rule : --

AND(
      NOT(ISNEW()),
      $Profile.Name <> "System Administrator",
      FirstName  = "Anonymous",
      LastName = "Contact"
)

explanation : -

  1. Isnew() is checking whether the record is edit mode or new mode.
  2. System Admin can edit the record.
  3. Contact Name you can not find so checking the particular Name need to use the firstName and LastName.
