Enterprise Control
Understand exactly which controls are available in each product so you can configure the right permissions for your team.
What is Enterprise Control?
Grid Controls give Admins and Designers precise, grid-level authority over what Standard Users can see and do inside any grid. Rather than applying blanket restrictions across the entire application, Grid Controls let you tailor the experience per grid so different teams, workflows, or data objects can each have exactly the right level of access.
Who Can Configure Grid Controls
Grid Controls can be set by Admins and Designers. Standard Users cannot access this screen

Revoking Custom Grid Access Deletes Existing Custom Grids
If you turn off Allow Creating Custom Grids after it was previously enabled, a warning will appear. Confirming will permanently delete all Custom Grids created from this Global Grid. This cannot be undone.
