When a branch manager needs visibility into client accounts managed by their advisors, you must choose the right record-level security mechanism to balance access with data isolation. Salesforce provides role hierarchies and sharing rules as the primary declarative tools to grant this access, each serving different architectural needs. Selecting the correct tool ensures managers see the necessary data without compromising the organization’s baseline security model.

Core information
  • Role hierarchies automatically grant managers access to all records owned by or shared with their subordinates, making them the standard choice when advisors report directly to the branch manager.
More details and nuances
  • Role hierarchies operate strictly vertically, meaning peers in the same role cannot see each other’s records unless sharing rules or teams explicitly grant that access.
