In this lesson I introduce you to Permission Sets. Permission Sets closely resemble Profile, but provide greater flexibility in that you can assign a user to multiple Permission Sets.

There's more than one way to access and adjust the Field Level Security (FLS) on a field. In this we approach revising the FLS on a field at the field level via the Object Manager > Object > Field.

Another way to adjust Field Level Security on a field is by way of an individual profile, then accessing the object and then field. In this lesson, I demonstrate the way you can hide a field from a profile, via the profile instead of at the field level.
