Groups can be combinations of different users, roles, roles and subordinates and groups within an organization. Groups will help you to build teams that share a common set of records.
Key features
When records are assigned to a group, all members associated with the group can perform operations on that record. This will help your users to work together as a team. For instance, if a support team member is on leave for the day, there is a chance that trouble ticket(case) assigned to him will not be resolved in time. Should the ticket be assigned to a group, all members associated to the group will receive an email notification and anyone can handle the issue.
A group supports following combinations:
Users : Selected users will be part of the group
Roles: All users associated with a role will be part of the group
Roles and subordinates : All users associated with the role, and its subordinates will be part of the group
Group: All users associated with selected group will be part of the group
Note: Groups will also help you to define custom sharing rules. You can define data sharing rules to make a certain role, role and subordinates, or a group view records of another role, role and subordinates, or a group.
