Adding ACL for fields in the table

[Community Alums]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a best approach to add an ACL, where I have to restrict an access for some fields in the table.
As of now for one role I have provided the read access for the whole table which includes all the fields, but now I'm looking for how to restrict the read access for few fields for that role only.
Table have 48 fields, I need to restrict 6 fields among them.

Do I need to add ACL for 42 fields , except 6 fields in such way to provide the read access for 42 fields and to restrict 6 fields.

Please suggest me the best approach!

Thanks in advance,
Chaithanya

Hi @Community Alums 

The approach you should take depends on whether the access level required for the 6 fields is higher or lower than the access level required to read the entire table.

If the access level required for the 6 fields is higher than the access level required to read the table as a whole, you can create separate ACLs for each of the 6 fields to restrict access to them specifically.

However, if the access level required for the 6 fields is lower than the access level required to read the entire table, you can simply rely on the existing ACL that grants read access to the table. There would be no need to create separate ACLs for the individual fields.
