    Hi Aman,

    Record Level Security :-

    Record-level security lets you give users access to some object records, but not others. Every record is owned by a user or a queue. The owner has full access to the record. In a hierarchy, users higher in the hierarchy always have the same access to users below them in the hierarchy. This access applies to records owned by users, as well as records shared with them.

    Field Level Security :-

    Field-level security settings let you restrict users’ access to view and edit specific fields. Your Salesforce org contains a lot of data, but you probably don’t want every field accessible to everyone. For example, your payroll manager probably wants to keep salary fields accessible only to select employees.

    Hope this helps.
