Question:
When a user creates a new View at My Accounts, the Account_Type__c field can be selected as a Search Criteria field even if the user does not have access to it. Does this behavior follow any special logic that prevents it from being removed from the list?
Answer:
This is working as designed. It is not possible to remove this field from the Search Criteria field selection.
