One or more users can access a record (contract, quote, and so on) based on user roles and permissions. Sometimes, users would like to share the record with other users in their organization. For example, a sales manager or legal person may want to share a specific record with one or more users, so that the other users can access the record and business continuity is ensured.

This section explains how to share records with other users.

  • Configured share permission and the Modify All attribute in object permission as true for the user sharing the record. For more information, see Creating Permission Groups.
  • Configured Read and Update permission for the object as true for the user receiving the record, For more information, see Managing Roles and Permission Groups.
