Configuring Field-Level Access Control
In addition to object-level and record-level access control, you can also configure field-level access control to define which Users, Roles, and Groups are granted rights to access or update individual fields within those objects. After access control is configured for fields, only authorized users can view those related field values. All other users see (hidden) labels in those fields, or NULL values in those fields in charts and APIs.

Users who have the System Administrator role always have access to restricted fields, regardless of the permissions granted to them individually or through their Roles or Groups.
