1. Salesforce Sharing Rules

In this Sharing Rules in Salesforce Tutorial, we will see what is meant by Sharing Rules in Salesforce and what are its subparts. Moreover, we will also discuss Salesforce Public Groups and Salesforce Sharing Rules Examples. At last, we will discuss types and questions for why to use Sharing Rules in Salesforce.
So, let’s start Sharing Rules in Salesforce.

2. What is a Salesforce Public Group?

Before making a Salesforce Sharing Rule, it’s necessary to line up the appropriate public group. A public group is considered as a bunch of individual users, alternative groups, individual roles, and/or roles with their subordinates that all have a function in common. As an example, users with the recruiter profile as well as users within the saw Dev Manager role each review job applications.

Have a look at Salesforce Schema Builder
Using a public group once defining a sharing rule makes the rule easier to make and, more necessary, easier to grasp later several sharing rules that you are attempting to take care of in a massive organization. Create a public group if you want to outline a sharing rule that encompasses more than one or 2 groups or roles, or somebody.
Looking at the desired permissions that we want to implement, there are simply 2 objects that require a public group for their sharing rules: job application and review. A positive news is that we can cover these objects in the single group because the Review object is on the detail side of a master-detail relationship, therefore it inherits the sharing settings we tend to apply to the job application object. Since each recruiter and hiring managers would like to read and update access to job applications and reviews, we can outline a public group referred to as reviewers that includes each recruiter and hiring managers.

3. How to Create Sharing Rules in Salesforce

You can outline a sharing rule for one public group, role, or role and subordinates.
There is already one default public group that encompasses every user in your organization.
Do you know about Salesforce Architecture

• In Setup, use the quick find box to search out “Sharing Settings”. This is often the same page wont to outline org-wide defaults.
• In the “Manage sharing settings” for drop-down list, select job application.

Choosing an object in this drop-down list permits you to focus in on the org-wide defaults and. Sharing rules for a single object at a time rather than observing all of them in an exceedingly long page—a useful issue if you have a large org with multiple custom objects. Let’s use this Sharing Rules connected list to create a sharing rule that applies to each the job application and also the review objects.

• In the “Job Application Sharing Rules Area”, click on the “ New” and provides your rule the label Review Records. The “Rule Name” text box populates automatically once you click it.
• For the rule type, confirm based on record owner is selected.
• For “select that records to be shared”, choose Public groups, then choose Entire Organization.
• Now, for “select users to share with”, select Public groups, then select Reviewers.
• For “select the extent of access for the users”, select Read/Write and then save.

4. Questions On Why should We Use Sharing Rules

Q2. Hiring managers need to browse and update access on position and job posting records on which they are the hiring manager.
Ans. No. It’s too hard to predict that positions are going to be appointed to which hiring manager. We’ll handle this use case another method.
Q3. Hiring managers want read access on candidate records on which they’re the hiring manager.
Ans. No. Again, it’s too hard to predict that positions are going to be appointed to which hiring manager.
Q4. Hiring managers need to read and update access on every job application and review record.
Ans. Yes. Since we’re not restricting which job applications and reviews a hiring manager get to browse and update, we are able to simply pick out all of the hiring managers from our role hierarchy and define a sharing rule for them.
Q5. Interviewers need read access on the candidate and job application records for people they are interviewing.
Ans. No. As we tend to discussed previously, it’s hard to predict who are going to be a member of an interview team for a particular position.
