Hi Alan,<div><br></div><div>You are right. </div><div><br></div><div>The current assumption is that, if you have Edit permission for a record, you also have the View permission on the record.</div><div><br></div><div>Few Questions that would arise with the design you are proposing would be:</div>
<div><ul><li>Without viewing a record, how can you even edit the record?</li><li>Once you have permission to edit a record, you get to see all the record information, then why not view access?</li></ul></div><div>There would me lot of questions that would arise on this point.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Giving only Edit option without View, doesn't make sense in general.</div><div><br></div><div>But in the case like Lead Conversion, it might make sense. Something we need to think deeper and come up with a proper design.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I feel, we should not hurry on this to decide on the approach. Might end up with a wrong design otherwise.</div><div><br></div><div>Let me know your thoughts as well.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Others on the Developers list are also most welcome to put forward their thoughts on this.</b></div>

In another usability enhancement example, I was with a new client<br>
yesterday where it would have been useful if a particular salesperson's<br>
Role had the ability to could convert a Lead into an Account/Potential<br>
but not be able to then View the new entities.<br>
<br>
In their business One level of salesperson is only to work on Leads -<br>
once qualified they are handled by a different team.<br>
<br>
In the Profile configuration you cannot have Create/Edit without View.<br>
