Lightning record page assignment
Key Takeaway
Users can't see a Lightning record page until you activate it, and activation is where you choose who gets the page.
A Lightning record page is a custom layout for one object's records, and you build it in the Lightning App Builder. Saving the page does not show it to anyone. You activate the page to choose who sees it: everyone as the org default, users of specific Lightning apps, or a mix of app, record type, and profile. You can target desktop, phone, or both.
How to activate a Lightning record page
You need the "Customize Application" permission to create and save Lightning pages. A new Lightning record page is not visible to users when you first save it, so you must activate it in the Lightning App Builder.
- Open the page. You can start from a record by selecting "Edit Page" from the Setup menu. You can also start from Setup by searching Lightning App Builder and clicking "Edit" next to the page.
- Click "Activate" on a new page, or "Activation" on a page that is ready.
- Choose who sees the page.
