Migration Overview

You can use the predefined object sharing rules available with access groups to give users the same access to object data that the predefined data security policies provide.

If you want to replace data security policies with access group rules as the method used to provide your users with access to object data, this chapter provides all the information you need. It includes:

• The steps to follow to migrate from data security policies to access group rules.
• Tables for each object that list the predefined rule or rules that correspond to each of the data security policies defined for the object. Use these tables to identify:

  • The data security policies you need to deactivate

  • The corresponding predefined rules you need to enable

Note: If you're using the sales application for the first time in release 22B or later, your database resources are secured using system access groups and rules by default. You don't need to perform the steps described in this chapter.
