What is Group Collaboration Profiles

CRM.COM can control access to data/entity records , based on the group (Organisational Unit) it belongs.
i.e. If the entity is an Explicit Viewing Access entity then the group it belongs to, is defined by the Owned By Group, and if the entity is a an Implicit Viewing Access Entity, then the group is defined by the Owned By Group of the master entity.

Group Collaboration allows you to define rules in the system, where you can allow data to be shared/accessed between different groups. i.e. allow users that belong to one group to access data that belong to a different group.

A group can collaborate with one or multiple groups and you can define which records will be allowed to be accessed based on their Privacy Level, as well as the actions that will be allowed to be executed by users of other groups.
