What it actually does

Field-level governance lets admins decide, for each profile, whether a field on an account or prospect is hidden, view-only or editable.

In November, Salesforce field-level security started carrying over to Outreach, and opportunities got their own governance settings.

Admins, RevOps and security teams.

Sensitive fields stay protected, and fewer people can make bad edits.
