How to assign a Page Layout to a profile

After you've created a custom layout, you may want to control who can see it. For example, you might want your accountant to see a billing layout and your project manager to see a different layout with specifications and requirements. You can even test a new Page Layout by temporarily assigning it to administrators. You'll do this by assigning layouts to profiles.

You will need to be using Advanced Permissions to assign a Page Layout to a user. If you are using Simple Permissions, your layouts will apply to your entire organization.

To assign a layout to a profile:

  1. Go to System Settings > Objects and Fields.
