Configuring Data Permissions Within Departments

Every business object includes a Dept. attribute. For each Dept., you can configure data access controls for object records based on Dept. membership. There are three available visibility types:

• Local Dept. data visible:
  Example: A is the local Dept., B is a child Dept. All members of Dept. A can view records assigned to Dept. A.

• Local and subordinate Depts. data visible:
  Example: A is the local Dept., B is a child Dept. All members of Dept. A can view records assigned to Dept. A and Dept. B.

• Mutual visibility between local Dept. and child Depts.:
  Example: A is the local Dept., B is a child Dept. All members of Depts. A and B can view records assigned to either Dept. A or Dept. B.

Similar to Dept.-level data permissions, if a tenant enables the multi-organization feature, you can also set object-level data access controls scoped to each organization.
