Editing Profiles in the Original Profile Interface

“Customize Application”
  1. From Setup, click Manage Users | Profiles.
  2. Select the profile you want to edit.
  3. On the profile detail page, click Edit to change any of the following settings:
    • For custom profiles only, the name and description
    • App visibility settings
    • Connected apps accessible to this profile
    • Tab visibility settings
    • For custom profiles only, administrative and general permissions

      Editing some permissions can cause other permissions to be enabled or disabled. For example, enabling “View All Data” automatically enables “Read” for all objects. Likewise, enabling “Transfer Leads” automatically enables “Read” and “Create” on leads.
