How To Add Field-Level Security for Type Fields in Salesforce Classic

Purpose:

The purpose of this article is to provide direction to Outreach Admins in setting the field-level security for Type fields in Salesforce Classic.

Salesforce Admins must enable Field Level Security for Type Fields to allow updates and changes to be reflected in both Salesforce and Outreach.

In order to minimize potential Field Level security issues, Outreach recommends having the Salesforce Admin connect the Salesforce Plugin and act as the Plugin Authorization User.
Salesforce Admin permission is required to complete this process.
This article discusses the process for updating security at the field-level for objects in Salesforce Classic. For more information on updating field-level security in Salesforce Lightning, refer to the How To Add Field-Level Security to Type Fields in Salesforce Lightning article.
