Review the default organization-wide access levels for each object.
Required Editions
| Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience |
| Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions. |
In Salesforce orgs created before Spring ’20, when you first enable external organization-wide defaults, the default internal access and default external authenticated access are set to the original default access level. The only exceptions are User and newly created custom objects, which are set to Private by default.
In orgs created after Spring ’20, the default external authenticated access level is set to Private for all objects, unless the default internal access level is Controlled by Parent.
