Column/View Permission is popular as a smart way to bridge a big gap in out-of-the-box SharePoint: permissions on Columns, Views and Forms.
In many usual business situation, we have to be able to assign efficiently permissions, and do so in a targeted manner. For example permissions given to the Human Ressources people should allow them to change the position occupied by an employee, but this should not be done by a standard employee. Or employees should be able to see their own salary but not modify it nor see the one of others.
For those cases and many others, Column/View Permission is the easy shortcut to the expected result, and provides with high security standards. It can also work based on conditions: a logical formula determines if a column or a view is available for a given user. So much time and effort saved for SharePoint administrators!
