Share Records with Groups

In Zoho Workerly, records are always owned by the user. However, access rights to the records can be extended to other users by grouping a set of users and setting up sharing rules for each module. After setting up the sharing rules, group members can access records in Workerly modules as per their permission in their profile.

For example, if "User A" doesn't have access to the Jobs module, he/she cannot access Jobs by setting up data sharing with groups.

• The owner has all rights on the records
  
• Records cannot be owned by groups. However, records can be shared with other users by groups and set up data sharing rules
  
• A User must have profile-level permission to access the records
  
• To apply the record sharing, you must recalculate after setting up the sharing rules
  

To share data with groups

1. Go to Setup > Users & Control > Security Control > Data Sharing Rules.
   
2. In the Data Sharing Rules page, setup sharing rules for each module.
   
3. Click Save.
