To create sharing rules:
Manage Sharing
To create a sharing rule based on record ownership by a public group, first create the
group. Likewise, to create a rule based on record ownership by a role, first create the
roles and role hierarchy.
You can give your account managers and regional managers different levels of access for
forecast measures. For example, provide edit access to regional managers for all the
quantity and revenue measures. And restrict access to account managers to view or edit the
fields that contain forecast data that the regional manager modified.
From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Sharing Settings, and
then select Sharing Settings.
In the Advanced Account Forecast Set Use Sharing Rules section, click
New.
Enter a rule name, label, and description.
Select a rule type.
Specify the users that can access records.
Specify the level of access for the users.
Similarly, create sharing rules for the forecast fact object.
