Where can I use Restrictions Rules?

With traditional sharing methods, you could open up access to records within the system, but there were some considerations with this method.

General Considerations

Restriction Rules are currently only available for Custom Objects, Contracts, Events, Tasks, Time Sheets and Time Sheet Entries.

Summary

Restriction Rules are a great feature. However, there are still a few obstacles to overcome to make these a viable option for all types of sharing problems.

Business problem

Amanda Merkle, Operations Manager, approached admin Addison Dogster and noted that all users are currently able to edit accounts categorized as advisor accounts, which should not be the case. Only selected Operations and Customer Service Rep (CSR) users should have the ability to edit advisor accounts — they should be off limits to everyone else.

The solution

Addison immediately thought of using a validation rule to prevent people from updating these advisor accounts, but she didn’t want to hard code users as the exception. Hard coding references will cause maintenance issues down the road as users change over time. Addison would have to modify the validation rule each time a user is removed or added.

Business results

With the implementation of this solution, Addison was able to enforce cleaner data by only allowing selected individuals the ability to update the advisor accounts. By referencing the custom permission in the validation rule, Addison implemented a better design that avoided hard-coded permission management in the validation rule.
