Apps that you build require access to data in the Common Data Service (CDS). You need to understand how to apply security to restrict a user's access to data and functionality. You can also control access to environments and apps through the different layers of security.

• Security in the CDS
• Users and teams
• Hierarchical security
• Field-level security

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to employ the appropriate security features, create and manage security roles...
