Grant Access to Records for Social Determinants

Sharing settings specify the level of access your users have to records and fields used to assign and track information about social determinants. Organization-wide sharing settings specify the default level of access users have to each others’ records. You use organization-wide sharing settings to lock down your data to the most restrictive level. For example, users have object-level permissions to read and edit opportunities, and the organization-wide sharing setting is Read-Only. By default, those users can read all opportunity records, but can’t edit any unless they own the record or are granted other permissions.
