Securing and Sharing Data<br />

Creating and Editing Groups<br />

• Create groups with at least a few users who need the same access.<br />

• Create groups with members who don’t frequently need to be moved in or out of the groups.<br />

• Avoid creating groups within groups that result in more than five levels of nesting.<br />

• Enable automatic access to records using your role hierarchies in public groups by selecting Grant Access Using Hierarchies when<br />

creating a group. However, deselect this option if you’re creating a public group with All Internal Users as members.<br />

Creating and Editing Groups<br />

Only administrators can create and edit public groups, but anyone can create and edit their own<br />

personal groups.<br />

To create or edit a group:<br />

1. Click the control that matches the type of group:<br />

• For personal groups, go to your personal settings and click My Personal Information or<br />

Personal—whichever one appears. Then click My Groups. The Personal Groups related<br />

list is also available on the user detail page.<br />

• For public groups, from Setup, click Manage Users > Public Groups.<br />

2. Click New, or click Edit next to the group you want to edit.<br />

3. Enter the following:<br />

Field<br />

Label<br />

Group Name (public groups only)<br />

Description<br />

The name used to refer to the group in any user<br />

interface pages.<br />

The unique name used by the API and managed<br />

packages. The name must begin with a letter and use<br />

only alphanumeric characters and underscores. The<br />

name cannot end with an underscore or have two<br />

consecutive underscores.<br />

EDITIONS<br />

Available in:<br />

USER PERMISSIONS<br />

To create or edit a public<br />

group:<br />

• “Manage Users”<br />

To create or edit another<br />

user’s personal group:<br />

• “Manage Users”<br />

Grant Access Using<br />

Hierarchies (public groups<br />

only)<br />

Select Grant Access Using Hierarchies to allow<br />

automatic access to records using your role hierarchies.<br />

When selected, any records shared with users in this<br />

group are also shared with users higher in the hierarchy.<br />

Deselect Grant Access Using Hierarchies if you’re<br />

creating a public group with All Internal Users as<br />

members, which optimizes performance for sharing<br />

records with groups.<br />

Note: If Grant Access Using Hierarchies is<br />

deselected, users that are higher in the role<br />

hierarchy don’t receive automatic access.<br />

However, some users—such as those with the<br />

“View All” and “Modify All” object permissions<br />

and the “View All Data” and “Modify All Data”<br />
