I created a field and a field security profile for it. I clearly did not add my user to the profile's members and yet I can access the field. My guess is that it is because I am an admin.

That behavior is NOT in the documentation.

Another bad idea but, thank you for citing that.

Hi Partner,

The System Administrator field security profile gives full access to all secured fields in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises). By default, all users who have the System Administrator security role have this profile. This profile is system managed and can’t be updated or deleted.
