You can configure the fields that are visible within an entity based on the Security Role a user has assigned. As an example, you may want to reduce the visible fields in your entity called Account to show only limited items for the ‘Portal User’ group.
Note: In this example we are using a Salesforce entity, but you can also do this with native entities via Setup > Entities, the instructions from there are the same.
How-To:
1. Navigate to Setup > force.com Connector, and in the list click the desired entity to open it. Under the More Actions dropdown, click ‘Field Security’.
2. Select the Role you want to edit the visible fields for, in this example ‘Portal User’, then you can check or uncheck ‘Read’ for which fields to be visible as desired.
