I do have a Visualforce page on the section of the Contact record detail page. I would like to show/hide this section(not just the Visualforce page) to specific number of users(different Profiles). How can I approach to a solution?

Note: I could render the VF page, but still I can have the Section which is empty. So if there is a simpler way to hide/show the section itself, that would be great. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There is a way, but it's not "simple". You need to use multiple page layouts. You can assign a different page layout to each profile. Unfortunately, this means basically maintaining two different versions of a layout. However, this would most likely be the ideal choice if you don't want to have a useless gap in your page layout.

  • Well, this was in my mind and could be the ideal solution. Can I use a permission set with the new page layout(default), and assign it to the users whom I would like to provide the access to the VF page?

  • @AustinEvans Nope, you can only assign page layouts via profiles, so they would necessarily need to have different profiles.
