Field Permission on Page Layouts

Question

I want to make a field editable for only 3 people. I have given edit access from profiel, The field is read-only on Page layout . is there a way I can make this editable on page layout for these 3 people without creating new page layout and new profile?

Answer 1

There are two ways to achieve this:

1. Keep the field editable on the Page Layout. Mark the field as ReadOnly at Profile Level. Next create a Permission Set with Edit Access on the desired field. Assign the Permission Set only to those three users.

2. Else, create a validation rule, which restricts edit for the field for all users except for those three users. Refer below example

AND(ISCHANGED(Field_To_Check__c),
$Profile.Name < > "System Administrator",
$User.UserName < > "User Name 1", $User.UserName < > "User Name 2", $User.UserName < > "User Name 3")
