The Validation Status picklist values are visible every user. I want to restrict the visibility of this picklist to an user so that he/she cannot choose published as the value  when submitting an article for approval.

Hi Revathi,

We could have multiple solutions for this scenario:
1. Make use of FLS (field level security) feature on profile basis.
2. Create multiple page layout and assign them to different profile with different set of fields.
3. Validation rule to stop user from changing values.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav

The solutions you suggested work for other objects in Salesforce.

Salesforce knowledge Validation Status standard field does not have these kind of permissions.

Hi Revathi,

I think we can set FLS, or try setting validation rules. 

Thanks,

Thanks for quick reply for my question Rvathi,but in my scenario we are using only one profile for all users.So do you have any idea besides the above solution.

Thanks,
