Considerations

• When a field is added to a Form Layout, the field visibility control is set to Visible by default
• When a new role is added, that role receives Visibility rights to all the fields across all the objects
• When this control is specified for a field, it will be enforced in the Field Audit Log; This means that the user Role determines whether a record is visible in an Audit Log
