Summary

The simple examples and scenarios in this document provide a glimpse into the complex data processing and calculations that occur under the hood in Salesforce to support its robust record access mechanisms. As you can imagine, that complexity increases exponentially in large organizations, many of which have more than 10,000,000 account records, 7,000 users, 2,000 roles, and 1,000 territories. When designing a record access model in such organizations, keeping these fundamentals in mind can help you architect the most efficient Salesforce implementation for your organization’s business needs.
