Plugin Security
The Plugin Security section of the [Field Name] drawer displays the plugin roles that have been granted access to the selected field. Access to the field by a plugin can only be approved or rejected by a PowerSchool Administrator when a plugin is enabled. If you need to change a plugin's access to a specific field, you must work with the plugin developer to change the field access list within the plugin xml.
When the [Field Name] drawer only displays the Plugin Security section and does not also display the User Access Security section, this indicates that the field is not a core Field Level Security field that can be secured using User Access roles. Fields of this type are only secured to plugins when those plugins are enabled, and have been granted access to the field by a PowerSchool Administrator.
For more information on a plugin's access to specific fields and how these fields are listed within the plugin xml, see the Plugin Management and the PowerSchool Developer Site.
