Hi , Can anyone please let me know if I can restrict a profile from deleting a field on an object. I searched but no luck.

Basically , I dont want a profile to be able to delete a field when it goes to an object from set up , fields and relationships. There we have two options one is edit and other is delete. I dont want the profile to have delete option. Is it possible to restrict at that level ?

Hi Mohita,

Thanks,  I tried to check on object-level and  'del' option cannot be removed.

As a workaround, you can check 'Customize Application'  option on profile.  But that will hide Edit, Del option.

Thanks,

Hi Mohita,

Try to remove Edit and delete permission from user profile for that object.

Review below Idea link.
(Enable Action Links (Edit & Del) to be hidden on ListViews and Related Lists)

@Vinay : Actually I need to restrict from fields and relationships menu inside object. From here in dropdown we have edit and delete. Can I restrict at that level. The solution you have mentioned restricts from record level not from set up level.
