Disabling External Organization-Wide Defaults

Disabling External Organization-Wide Defaults results in one organization-wide default for each object.
Available in: Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs)
Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

User Permissions Needed
To disable external organization-wide defaults: Manage Sharing

Before disabling this feature, set Default External Access and Default Internal Access to the same access level for each object.

To disable the external organization-wide defaults:

  1. From Setup, enter Sharing Settings in the Quick Find box, then select Sharing Settings
  2. Click Disable External Sharing Model in the Organization-Wide Defaults area.

After disabling the external organization-wide defaults, you’ll see the Default Access setting instead of the Default External Access and Default Internal Access settings in the organization-wide defaults area. If you have User Sharing, the Default External Access settings for the account, contact, case, and opportunity objects remain visible but they are disabled.
