How to check accessible fields for SOQL via REST API?
We have a beta version of a mobile app using the REST API.
It seems some of our early users are unable to access some standard fields for sales objects. As an example, a SOQL query including the Account.AccountNumber returns "Error, no such column..."
Has this anything to do with access rights on a field level? Or, are not all fields supported depending on other roles/permissions? Is there any way to call an API-method for every user and first check which fields are accessible for each objects?
Thanks in advance
Field Level Security can affect which objects & fields are available in the API. The describe resources in the REST API will detail which sobjects & the fields within them are available to the calling user. e.g. see /services/data/v27.0/sobjects/Account/describe
