kabu What is the best way to make some of opportunity fields editable for few users?
Hi
I wanto update few fields on opportunity and rest of the fields are read only and it is for few users. is there a standard out of box functionality I can use that would give most the fields read only and few fields editable?
I can use different page layouts for some of the profiles etc.
What is the best approach?
thanks

Hi
I think you can do this by editing Field Level Security and creating permission set.
Consider there is a two user. User A and User B. Now you want user a can see all fields and edit. but user b can only see some field and not able to edit.
Both user have same profile now.
Now go to the profile and go on the field level security section and clcik on the link of that object.
In field level secuirty . there is check Box of read only, Check the check box of that fields which you want user b can only read only. Now use can see that user a and user b is not able to edit that fiels which you have checked the checkbox.
Now create a permission set,In this permission set select the object setting and then select the same object and edit it.now you can see the there is all fields and object setting . now check the check box in edit coloumn which you have select in filed level security and assign this permission set to user A. Now user a is able to edit that fields.
If this is your solution then marked this section as a answer.
And dont forget to click on kudo button or image.

Page layouts are not the best place to take care of that.
Just configure your field access rules (http://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=admin_fls.htm&language=en_US)
and put the 'few users' in a another profile with more rights

Hi Ashlekh
Thanks for the great solution but my problem is when I give edit permission on the permissionset it provides Closedate and Oppty name and Stage as editable always. I wanted just one custom field to be editable to specific user.
Is there a way I can make these standard OOB field readonly.
thanks

Hi ,
These fields are required field on object level, so I you are giving the permission for create a record on object level then. By defalut this fields are readalbe and editable.

I have given only edit permission in permission set and prfile the fields are read only except tese 3 fields.
So are you saying we can't make it read ony?
Hi
My means is to say that if a field is required on object level then we can no't make it as read only.
