Field level security in CRM

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0

CRM 4.0 does not provide a method for securing records at the field level. If a user has modify access to a record then they may change any field in the record.

Where field-level security is needed then there are workarounds:

  1. move the fields that need to be secured separately to a custom entity
  2. use a third-party add-on
  3. develop your own solution.

With regard to item 3, Microsoft has published a comprehensive document that describes the issues and is well worth a read. It can be found here:
