You can select one or multiple fields to control their editing permissions while keeping the field information visible. For demonstration purposes, this article uses Candidates as an example. However, you can use this setting for clients as well. Let's get started 🚀 **Step 1**: Log in to your agent dashboard and click **Candidates** in the navigation bar.    ![image5](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Application%20Forms/Make%20Candidate%20And%20Client%20Profile%20Fields%20Admin-Editable%20Only/image5.png?width=670&height=160&name=image5.png) **Step 2**: Click on any of the candidates from the list.    ![image8](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Application%20Forms/Make%20Candidate%20And%20Client%20Profile%20Fields%20Admin-Editable%20Only/image8.png?width=670&height=226&name=image8.png) **Step 3**: Click the **Profile** tab to navigate to the candidate profile.    ![image2](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Application%20Forms/Make%20Candidate%20And%20Client%20Profile%20Fields%20Admin-Editable%20Only/image2.png?width=670&height=150&name=image2.png) **Step 4**: Click the **Gear** icon next to the section heading that contains the field you want to make editable only by admins. ![image4](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Application%20Forms/Make%20Candidate%20And%20Client%20Profile%20Fields%20Admin-Editable%20Only/image4.png?width=670&height=245&name=image4.png) **Step 5**: Scroll to the bottom of the page and click **Control which fields are visible and hidden to whom** option to expand it.    ![image3](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Application%20Forms/Make%20Candidate%20And%20Client%20Profile%20Fields%20Admin-Editable%20Only/image3.png?width=670&height=243&name=image3.png) **Step 6**: Under **Admin editable only fields (Visible to Candidate & Client)**, select the field you want to make editable only by admins.
