Sign in to vote
I have a field in my Contacts entity (Business Type) that is shown as "Managed" and I want to enable field security on it. There are a few other fields I have which aren't managed that I want to enable security on. But when I open the field, I am unable to select the option to enable it. Using CRM 2011.

Field Level Security is available only for custom fields, it is not available for OOB fields.

You have two ways:

1) Create a new custom field that will be used instead of your OOB field (suggested)

2) enable Field Level Security for the OOB field using this tutorial http://weblogs.asp.net/gayanperera/crm-2011-field-level-security-for-oob-attributes (not suggested because it is an unsupported customization)
