Set up security permissions for a column

  • Article

There are two steps to set up security permissions for a column.

  1. Enable column security on one or more columns for a given table.

  2. Associate one more existing security profiles, or create one or more new security profiles to grant the appropriate access to specific users or teams.

After you create the profile, you assign users and or teams to that profile, and set up specific read, create, or write permissions for the column.
