Candidates cannot view or edit fields, regardless of permissions, unless the fields are first set as public. This setting is the attribute most commonly adjusted using field overrides, so even a field marked public="false" can, under certain conditions, be made public to certain applicants.

Whenever a field is made as public = false in candidate profile template, this field will not appear in the candidate profile regardless of permission.
Whenever a field is made as public = true in candidate profile template, this field will appear in the candidate profile if read/write permission is given to the candidate this field will not appear in the candidate profile if read/write permission is not given to the candidate.
