Changing record visibility

On Company, Contact and Opportunity records there is a field called Visible To which can be used to configure record visibility via the following options:

• Everyone – all Users will be able to see the record, assuming that they have a minimum of View permission for the record type.
• Record Creator – only the User that created the record will be able to see it, with the exception of Users who belong to the Administrators Team who have full system permissions.
  
• My Team – all Users that belong to the same Team as you will be able to see the record. If a User belongs to multiple Teams, the visibility will overlap to the Users in each Team.

There are a few things to note here:

• Users that belong to the Administrators Team will always be able to see all CRM data.
• If either the Assigned To or Visible To fields do not have a value chosen, then all Users will be able to see the record i.e. the record will be fully visible unless these fields are filled in.
