Salesforce Sharing Model

Layered Salesforce security model controlling access at org, object, field and record levels.

Definition

Salesforce security layers are org access (login hours, IP ranges, MFA), object permissions, field-level security and record-level sharing. Record access starts from the most restrictive baseline set by organization-wide defaults and is opened up with the role hierarchy, sharing rules, teams, manual sharing and Apex sharing. Object and field permissions come from profiles and permission sets.

Exam tip

Record sharing can only open access beyond OWDs, never restrict it below the baseline (except restriction rules).
