Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

User Permissions Needed
To edit sharing rules: Manage Sharing

For user sharing rules based on membership to groups, roles, or territories, you can edit only the access settings. For user sharing rules based on other criteria, you can edit the criteria and access settings.

  1. From Setup, enter Sharing Settings in the Quick Find box, then select Sharing Settings.
  2. In the User Sharing Rules related list, click Edit next to the rule you want to change.
  3. Change the Label and Rule Name if desired.
  4. If you selected a rule that’s based on group membership, skip to the next step. If you selected a rule that's based on criteria, specify the criteria that records must match to be included in the sharing rule. The fields available depend on the object selected, and the value must be a literal number or string. Click Add Filter Logic... to change the default AND relationship between each filter.
  5. Select the sharing access setting for users. The User Access level applies to users who are members of the groups being shared to.
    Access Setting Description
    Read Only Users can view, but not update, records.
    Read/Write Users can view and update records.
  6. Click Save.
