Introduction to Sharing
What is Sharing?
Salesforce and Fonteva both feel strongly about ensuring the security of our customers and their data. To ensure security, Salesforce requires its partners to align with their security requirements. A key element of these requirements is called Sharing.
By enabling Sharing, Salesforce restricts the visibility of records to the individuals that own those records. Salesforce understands that this may be too restrictive in certain scenarios. Let's take the example of John, the administrator, creating a Sales Order for Jane:
John is creating the Sales Order for Jane, the contact on the Sales Order. Because John created the Sales Order and is the owner of that record, only he can see the Sales Order record. John wants Sharon to see this record in the Community Portal, but she can't due to this restriction.
To grant visibility to Contacts on records they do not own, Salesforce has created Sharing Sets.
What Are Sharing Sets?
Sharing Sets allow administrators to give access to records in the system to community users that are Contacts in the database. In the scenario above, the administrator would need to create a Sharing Set that allows Jane visibility of the Sales Order in the Community.
With 20Spring.1.0, Fonteva has enabled Sharing Sets within our Community. This enhances the security of Community Portals and makes sure that your data is safe.
