- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Sharing Settings, and then select Sharing Settings.
-
Select an object from the Manage Sharing Settings For list.
For each profile, the list specifies the permissions that allow it to override sharing settings. The View All Data and Modify All Data permissions override sharing settings for all objects in the organization, while the object permissions View All Records and Modify All Records override sharing settings for the named object.
To override sharing settings for specific objects, you can create or edit permission sets or profiles and enable the View All Records and Modify All Records object permissions. These permissions provide access to all records associated with an object across the organization, regardless of the sharing settings. Before setting these permissions, compare the different ways to control data access.
For example, you have the organization-wide default for opportunities set to Private. However, the whole Sales Operations team, which has members in multiple different roles, must see all opportunities. You create a permission set with the View All Records permission on opportunities and assign it to these users.
