Next conceptRole-level opportunity, case and contact access for account owners

Explainer

Implicit parent access is a built-in Salesforce sharing behavior. A user who can access a case, contact, or opportunity automatically gets Read Only access to that record's parent account. It lets users see account context for the records they work on without extra roles, groups, or sharing rules, and it applies even when the Account org-wide default is Private.
Core information
  • Implicit sharing is a built-in platform mechanism that grants access between parent and child records. For parent access, if a user can access an account's child case, contact, or opportunity, the user gets implicit Read Only access to that parent account.
More details and nuances
  • Object permissions do not trigger implicit parent access. A user whose only access to the child records comes from the View All Records or Modify All Records object permissions cannot access the parent account through implicit sharing.
