    • Users hold full control over this field: users can change the values of this field.
    • Users hold full control over fields of their items:  users can change values only for items they own. Values of other items are not visible for them.
    • Users see this field but they can’t edit values: users can see the values in this field, but can’t change them.
    • Users don’t see this column: Users are not enabled to see values in this column but they can work with this column.  For example, you will use this permission if your employees must work with some columns, but they shouldn’t see their real values.
    • Users don’t see this column nor can work with it: users cannot see the values in this field and they cannot change them.
