Field Level Security on email fields

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,577

Hello,

I am successfully enabling Field Level Security for a number of contact fields but I have one field of type text but of format "Email" on which I am not allowed to enable field security (the option is greyed out!) . Is it not possible to enable field security on email fields? If so, is anyone aware of any workarounds to achieve this?

Many thanks

    Is this a custom field or OOB field?
