SFDC_Learner Profiles Vs Organization wide defalult permissions
HI,
To give permissions (create,edit,delete,view)on a particular object we use profiles.
But in sharing settings sections we can find the feature called organization wide default. Here we can give the public readonly, public read/write ..... permissions.
what is the difference between these profile based and organization wide default permissions?
I observed that, profile will overides org wide default permissions. is it right? if it is correct then which situation we use the org wide default settings for an org once we have profile permissions?
please clarify this
PB is right.
The only time this is not true is when you have "view all data" or "modify all data" selected at the profile level, that will override the org wide defaults. "View all data" and "modify all data" are default selected for the system admin profile. Perhaps, if you're a system admin, this is why you're experiencing the apparent override.

OWD's control the visibilty to the records, profiles determin what the user can do with the records.
