Scheduling Options for Object Sharing Rules Assignment Processing

You can configure whether or not object sharing rules processing occurs automatically, and how often the process runs, using profile options.

After you create or edit an access group rule, or add a rule to an access group, you must publish the rule to make it available for assignment processing. Once an active rule is published, the Perform Object Sharing Rules Assignment process automatically assigns group members with the object access specified by the rule.

By default, the process is dynamically scheduled to run at regular intervals for any object that has an active rule associated with it. How frequently the process runs varies depending on whether or not near real-time processing is enabled for an object. You can disable dynamic scheduling, or change how frequently the process runs, using these profile options:

• Dynamic Scheduling of Scheduled Process Jobs Enabled

  Controls whether or not dynamic scheduling of object sharing rules processing is enabled.

  Note: If you disable dynamic scheduling, you must manually submit the Perform Object Sharing Rule Assignment process, or create your own schedule for running the process, to make sure access group members receive the access they need. In addition, any jobs that are already scheduled aren’t canceled automatically. You have to cancel the scheduled jobs manually.
• Frequency of Scheduled Process Jobs if Near Real-Time Processing Enabled

  If dynamic scheduling is enabled, this option specifies how often the Perform Object Sharing Rule Assignment process runs when near real-time processing is enabled. The default value is 6 hours.

• Frequency of Scheduled Process Jobs if Near Real-Time Processing Disabled

  If dynamic scheduling is enabled, this option specifies how often the Perform Object Sharing Rule Assignment process runs when near real-time processing is disabled. The default value is 1 hour.

  If you require immediate access to new records and objects, you can manually submit the Perform Object Sharing Rule Assignment process to run immediately. You can also create your own processing schedule to replace or supplement the default schedule. For information, see the topic Perform Object Sharing Rules Assignment Process.
