Setting up Data Sharing Rules

By default, access rights to CRM records is set as private so that the record owner and his/her manager can oversee the CRM data. However, using the Data Sharing Rules, you can extend the access rights to users belonging to other roles and groups. Once the data sharing rules are configured, users associated to other roles and groups can gain additional access to the records that belong to other users. 

Key Features

  • By default all the modules have a Private option.
  • If the Organisation-wide permission is set as Public Read/Write/Delete, everyone can access and update all the users’ data. Role Hierarchy and Sharing Rules will not be applied in this case.
  • If the Organisation-wide permission is set as Read Only, everyone can only view the other users' records. In this case other users cannot modify the owner's records.
  • If the Organisational permission is set as Private, Role Hierarchy and Sharing Rules can be applied.
  • You cannot restrict the accessibility set in Organisation's default permissions by writing the Sharing Rules. You can only extend the additional data visibility
  • In the Import History, records that belong to you and your subordinates (if any) will always be shown.
  • All the Attachments, Notes, Emails and Competitors belonging to a record are accessible, if you are able to view that record.
  • Forecasts will always be private.
