Object restrictions

Hello,

What I have to do is to give a user access just to the few objects (standard and custom). He is also allowed to see just certain fields of those objects. Everything else should not be accessable for this user. I know I can create custom views and field security but I can't find anything how to do this restrictions on object level. How would you approach to this task? Any good articles on this issue?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Urban90,

You will want to create a custom profile and set the Object and Field Level security. Here is a good YouTube series on security:

Here is more information on profiles:

Hi- You can restrict the object and field access by profile. If you have special case you can always create a custom profile and give a restricted permission to that profile. if you want to understand how profile works. you can just watch this quick video
