Record level security

You can use record level security to control access to individual objects in a folder.
Figure 1. Record level security applies to objects
Security is defined at three levels: role-based security, record level security, and field level security

If no record level security is defined for an object, only role-based security is applied to the object.

When you define a record level security rule, the way that access is restricted depends upon whether the outcome of the formula is true or false when it is applied to an object:

  • True: Access to the object is granted, and you can restrict or extend the existing role-based security for that object.
  • False: Access to the object is not granted, and role-based security is applied.
