Why can’t they see that field?

FixLens, formerly Permission Lens.

Right-click any field on a Salesforce record. FixLens tells you whether the user can see it, why, and the smallest change that would fix it.

Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store

What you get

  • A plain answer first: “Ramesh cannot see Account.AnnualRevenue.”
  • The fix: “Assign permission set Finance_View, which already grants Read on Account.AnnualRevenue.”
  • The evidence: every permission set, sharing row and role behind the answer, each linked to the record or Setup page that proves it.
  • Any user, one click: ask the same question for someone else without leaving the page.

What it checks

  • Profile, permission sets and permission set groups (muting and stale groups flagged)
  • Object permissions, View All / Modify All, View All Data / Modify All Data
  • Field-level security, and whether a field is controlled by FLS at all
  • Record access: what Salesforce reports (UserRecordAccess), then org-wide defaults, owner, queues, role hierarchy, sharing rules, manual shares, teams, territories, Apex sharing, implicit and Controlled-by-Parent sharing
  • Group membership, spelled out: User → Role → Role & Subordinates → Public Group → Sharing rule
