A. B. C. D.AD.
A. True. Sharing rules should be used when a user or group of users needs access to records not granted them by either role hierarchy or organization-wide defaults. By using sharing rules, you can extend the access level for specific records to users, roles, or public groups that don't have access through the role hierarchy or organization-wide defaults.
B. False. Sharing rules can apply to both existing and new records, depending on the type of sharing rule you create. For example, if you create a criteria-based sharing rule, it can apply to both existing and new records that meet the specified criteria.
C. True. When you transfer records from one user to another, sharing rules are removed during the transfer. This is because sharing rules are based on the owner of the record, and when you transfer ownership, the sharing rules that were based on the previous owner are no longer valid.
D. False. You can change the specified groups or roles for sharing rules. In fact, one of the benefits of sharing rules is that they can be easily modified or deleted as needed. You can change the criteria used to determine which records are shared, the groups or roles that have access, and the level of access granted.
In summary, sharing rules are a powerful tool for extending access to records beyond the limits of the role hierarchy and organization-wide defaults. They can apply to both new and existing records and can be modified or deleted as needed. However, it's important to keep in mind that sharing rules are based on the owner of the record, so they are removed when ownership is transferred.
