Human Resources has a Recruitment Approval Form that includes a field for salary. This is confidential information that only the initiator, approving manager and relevant Human Resources staff should be able to see. The initiators and approving managers vary but the relevant Human Resources staff can be a SharePoint group.

Is there a way to restrict access to the salary field or at worst the whole form to just these users?

Hey Paul,

well you could have a formatting rule on your salary column like this:

fn-IsMemberOfGroup(current user)

But this is not a secure solution. If people do have reading access to the item itself they might find the information via search, web services, modifying list views or whatever.

The only secure way is to only give people of your HR department reading/editing permission to the list itself. All other people won't be able to access the sensitive information.

Would that be an option?

Best regards

Enrico
