Sharing
Select whether records shared with queue members are also shared with their superiors in the role hierarchy. Review the release update to address new sharing recalculation behavior. Salesforce is also changing how criteria-based sharing rules are recalculated so that organization-wide default updates process faster.
- Choose Whether to Grant Access Using Role Hierarchies for Queues
Use the new Grant Access Using Hierarchies setting to restrict record sharing to only specified queue members. Previously, records shared with a queue were always shared with the queue members’ superiors in the role hierarchy. This setting provides greater control over your users’ record access and prevents superiors from receiving unnecessary email notifications. - Update Organization-Wide Defaults Quicker and More Reliably
To process changes to organization-wide defaults faster, related criteria-based sharing rules are now recalculated in parallel rather than sequentially. This improvement is most noticeable if you have many sharing rules. You can monitor the progress of the recalculation on the Background Jobs page. - Extend Access for Unified Employee License Users
Manage user sharing access with the All Restricted Employees group, which includes only users with the Unified Employee License. By using this group, you can quickly extend access for users with a Unified Employee License. - Update Apex Code and Flows for Changed Sharing Recalculation Behavior (Release Update)
To optimize performance after large-scale updates to groups or roles, Salesforce now performs some sharing recalculations asynchronously. If Apex code and flows require that share records be updated immediately, the code and flows can break when this release update is enforced. Update Apex classes, tests, and flows that update group membership or roles if they rely on synchronous sharing recalculation. This update was first available in Spring ’26.
