Easiest way to grant edit access to a field for one user on case object without creating a new profile?

Question

I was curious if anyone knew the easiest way to grant edit access to a field for one user on case object without creating a new profile? I am using an existing profile that has cred setup to allow access and edit to numerous fields on case, but I want to create a permission set to only allow edit access to one field while using that profile. I created a permission set and only checked the edit box on that field, but it still allows editing of all other fields when I login as that user and view a case.

Thanks.

Permission Sets are additive to base Profile permissions. You need to start by restricting access to all fields on the profile, then create 1-2 permission sets to allow access for fields to edit.
