Field level security is an essential feature of Dynamics 365 CRM that enables administrators to limit access to specific fields based on a user's role or team membership. With field level security, organizations can ensure that sensitive data is protected from unauthorized access, while still allowing users to access the records they need to do their job. In this blog post, we will walk you through the process of applying field level security in Dynamics 365 CRM.

Step 1: Navigate to the entity

The first step is to navigate to the entity for which you want to apply field level security. In this example, we will use the "Account" entity.

With the "Annual Revenue" field selected, click on the "Field Security" button in the ribbon. This will open the Field Security Profile dialog box.

Step 5: Select the roles or teams

In the "Permissions" section, select the roles or teams that should have access to the field. For this example, we will select the "Sales Manager" role.

Step 6: Choose "Read" or "Update" access
