Hello Dears,

I have the following scenario where I hope someone can help me.

I have a secured field which is secured by field security profile for some users to prevent read its value.

The problem is that I need to read this field's value in javascript and do some logic based on it, but it since the logged in user doesn't have privilege to read this field value, the Xrm.Page.getAttribute(<securedfieldname>).getValue(); returns null, which means I can't read it.

Is there any way to read the field's value in javascript but keeping it secured on form and advanced find?

Thank you for your help in advance.

RE: Field Security Profiles with Javascript

Hi Osama,

+1 for Guido's answer. If you can read a secure value in JavaScript then security is breached.

But you can call a Custom Action from JavaScript which runs on server side and get it to return a response. You write the trigger in JavaScript (Client-side) and the logic in Custom Action (Server-side) which you can configure to run under a different user's context.

IMPORTANT: Never return sensitive data back to JavaScript.
