Understanding View Privileges

View privileges determine a user's ability to view certain pages or objects.

The View Only (System) permission set is a permission set provided by the application. When assigned to a user, this permission set provides view-only access to all pages and objects in a context except for certain pages and objects with their own View privilege. The pages and objects with their own View privilege have been determined to need an extra layer of security - for example, cost and financial information.

The following pages and objects have their own View privilege for an object permission set, so users need the following privileges to access the page or object. Users with only the View Only (System) permission set will not be able to view the below pages and objects:
