Cannot switch to Data Category-Based Sharing in Salesforce Knowledge Sharing Settings

게시 일자: Apr 21, 2026
상세 설명
When attempting to turn off "Use standard Salesforce sharing" under Setup | Knowledge Settings | Sharing Settings in order to use Data Category-based sharing, you may get the following error:

"It looks like your data category and article version limits are too high for Data Category-based sharing. Continue to use standard sharing for Knowledge or ask Salesforce Customer Support to decrease your limits."
솔루션

Due to the potential performance implications, Salesforce prevents you from switching to Data Category-based sharing if your organization's maximum allowed data category limits are above particular thresholds. See the below table for each limit and its threshold.
 

Name of limitDefault valueMaximum threshold for Data Category-based sharingMaximum possible value for standard Salesforce Sharing
Active data category groups366
Total data category groups (including active, inactive values)5610
Levels in a Data Category Group588
Data categories allowed per data category group100500500
# of data category selections per data category group that can be chosen per record82550


If you are encountering this error and would like to reduce your limits to meet the maximum threshold for Data Category-based sharing, please create a case with the Feature Activations & Limits Team and reference this article.
