I want to make Account Object "Read only" and three fields in that object editable. All other will be "Read only". How is this possible?

Hello,

I want to give read only permission to the "Account" object. Similarly i want to make "Account " fields read only. Only 3 fields in account object should be editable. I have clone the Salesforce Admin profile. Then Gave only read only access to the object and 3 feilds are editable other all remaining fields are editable. But In my case when object is read only then all fields become read only and if i give object edit permission then all fields become editable. I am not getting what to do. I have given permission set to make those 3 field raed only and assigned user to them
Please anyone know the correct solution reply as soon as possible. I need to resolve this issue immediately

Thanks & Best Regards,
Satakshi

Hi Utkarsha,

Please provide the edit access in permission set and after that go to account fields and do the following for each field you want to make read-only.

Go to the Field accessibility page of a field and click on the editable option in front of the profile in which you want the field should be read only or do for all.

After this click on the editable option as per your profile selection or do it for all.
