Help: “New” Button on account object should check user profile when user try to create new account

Hi,
I have a requirment that when user try to create account with “New” button then the system should only check user profile and if the user profile = Administrator then it only let admin to create new account otherwise it should throw a error that “you don’t hacve permission”

I am confused that how I am going to solve this requirment.

please help me
thanks

A validation rule on Account should suffice

 

AND(
ISNEW(),
$Profile.Name != 'System Administrator'
)

If the USer Profile doesnt have permissions to create an Account, they wont be permitted to create an Account anyways. You don't have to explicitly write a validation rule to prevent this.
