User Permissions Needed
To restore user visibility defaults: Manage Sharing

User Sharing enables you to control who sees who in the organization. You can restore your defaults if you have previously used User Sharing.

To restore user visibility defaults:

  1. From Setup, enter Sharing Settings in the Quick Find box, then select Sharing Settings.
  2. Set the organization-wide defaults to Public Read Only for internal access and Private for external access.
  3. Enable portal account user access.
    On the Sharings Settings page, select the Portal User Visibility checkbox. This option enables customer portal users to see other users under the same portal account. Additionally, partner portal users can see the portal account owner. If Community User Visibility is also selected, users from the same community can see each other as well.
  4. Enable network member access.
    On the Sharing Settings page, select the Community User Visibility checkbox. This option enables community members to be seen by all other users in their communities. If Portal User Visibility is also selected, portal users can see other portal users from the same account as well.
  5. Remove user sharing rules.
    On the Sharing Settings page, click Del next to all available user sharing rules.
  6. Remove HVPU access to user records.
    On the Customer Portal Setup page, click Del next to all available sharing sets for HVPUs.

After user visibility is restored to the defaults, all internal users are visible to each other, portal users under the same portal account are visible to each other, and community members in the same community are visible to each other.
