Sharing Rules

With Joforce, you can define your own data sharing for your users. The sharing rules are set to the public by default. Joforce offers 4 types of sharing rules,

• Private – Users can view only the records that are assigned to them and the records that are assigned to the subordinate users on the particular role.
• Public Read only – All your users can view all the information in Joforce
• Public Read, Create/ Edit – All your users can view, create and edit all the information
• Public Read, Create/ Edit, Delete – Any information in Joforce can be viewed, created, edited, and deleted by any of your users.

Though you set the record permission as public read-only, your users can create, edit and delete records that are assigned to them and their subordinates. However, this can be changed using the profile permissions. To know more about the profile and sharing privileges, refer here.
