Developers Trailhead Challenge in Data Security of Controlling Access Fields

Challenge of Data Security, Controlling Access to Fields in the Developers Trailhead. I spent well over 2 hours on this exercise. It tells me at this time that the "The 'Account Rating' permission set did not have the appropriate field-level security for the Account object."

By now I have tred every combination of check marks and unchecks, and my work place is chaos. Can someone help me with this seemingly simple task?  

Thanks.

None of the photos showed up. But I got it to work - However, don't understand it. Shouldn't the Field permissions be left out, and just added to the profile of the Account Manager? Thanks so much, Becky

Hi Becky, 

"None of the photos showed up. But I got it to work - However, don't understand it. Shouldn't the Field permissions be left out, and just added to the profile of the Account Manager? Thanks so much, Becky"

That's what I thought at first and I got stuck on this question myself. But you have to think of profiles giving basic access and then using permission sets as granting MORE access, hence you add read/edit permission on rating field and assign that permission to Account Manager. (you keep Marketing Cooridnator with his basic profile that DOESN'T have read/edit permissions on rating). 

Hope this helps you a little bit. Just think of permissons sets as ADDING access to fields. 

Thanks

Hi, I'm also stuck in this challange but I have a different issue:
The 'Basic Account User' profile did not have the appropriate object and field-level security for the Account object.

I have create and recreate the profile like dozen of times, but the same warning keeps showing up. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Go to Setup -> Profiles -> Click on your Basic Account User profile. 
Chose the Object (Accounts) to check the settings for Basic Account User for Accounts object. Do you have Read object permission on it? (or have you got more than just Read?) also under field permissions, check what Basic Account User can read.. can he read Rating? or is it unticked? Remember that Basic Account User has to have as little permissions as possible as later on you ADD on those permissions to open up. 
Hope this will help you.

Hi Francis Alberto Vargas Cruz,

In this challange you need to create on profile 'Basic Account User' and and that profile should have read access on account object like below

Thanks Mrs. Chaudhary. My problem was that I wasn´t uncheking the rating permissions in the profile configuration.

Hi , 

Is there a workaround to this Rating Field as in the Setup page when we go to the Customize> Account > Fields and set the Field - Level Security to Read only , the same name does not come up in the Profile Object permissions settings page.

OH I got it after spending half an hour. I cloned earlier Read Only user profile that's why. We need to take standard user profile and perform all this.

Hi all, 

I solved this, after done all this. 
1) Just Go to the Account Fields > Rating Fields > Set Field-Level Security > Disable visible and Read Only for all.
2) now check visible and Read only for "Basic Account User" Profile & Save. as shown in below Image.

and check for Challenge. 
Hope this will work for all.

Thanks and Regards,

Parth's Answer is correct however it is Account> Rating Field > Set ...so on so forth for those confused.

The fix noted by Parth Joshi was not correct. The instructions indicate the Profile name should be "Account" not Basic Account user. I would totally agree this lesson needs help. Does not read well. The instruction step by step confusing. I will give Parth thumbs up. Given the instructions he provided did help to get me to pass the lesson just as long as I named the profile "Account". I agree the update if changed to "Basic Account user" makes alot more sense for the name of the Profile instead of "Account".

Appreciate time and effort on this lesson for fixes.

I am also a newbie , I was facing the same issue.
Later I noticed , that I was doing it in Salesforce classic and checking it. 

then I switched to Lightning and found there is no permission set named "rating"  .
So , the problem was only due to the fact that the trail challenges are meant only for the Lightning experience and I was doing it on classic.

Hope this will help someone.
