User Sharing and Visibility

User Sharing enables you to show or hide an internal or external user from another user in your organization.
Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Watch how you can control the visibility that users have to each other.

With User Sharing, you can:

  • Assign the “View All Users” permission to users who need to see or interact with all users. This permission is automatically enabled for users who have the “Manage Users” permission.
  • Set the organization-wide default for user records to Private or Public Read Only.
  • Create user sharing rules based on group membership or other criteria.
  • Create manual shares for user records to open up access to individual users or groups.
  • Control the visibility of external users.
  • Manage personal user information visibility for external users.
