To edit sharing rules: Manage Sharing

For sharing rules that are based on owner, you can edit only the sharing access settings. For sharing rules that are based on other criteria, you can edit the criteria and sharing access settings.

  1. From Setup, enter Sharing Settings in the Quick Find box, then select Sharing Settings.
  2. In the Sharing Rules related list for the custom object, 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 owner, 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.
