    Hi saurabh,

    When you grant “View All” or “Modify All” for an object on a profile or permission set, you grant any associated users access to all records of that object regardless of the sharing and security settings.
    In essence, the “View All” and “Modify All” permissions ignore the sharing model, role hierarchy, and sharing rules that the “Create,” “Read,” “Edit,” and “Delete” permissions respect. Furthermore, “Modify All” also gives a user the ability to mass transfer, mass update, and mass delete records of that specific object, and approve such records even if the user is not a designated approver.
    These tasks are typically reserved for administrators, but because “View All” and “Modify All” let us selectively override the system, responsibilities that are usually reserved for the administrator can be delegated to other users in a highly controlled fashion.

    Thanks,

    Hi Saurabh,

    Administrators to grant access to records associated with a given object across the organization. “View All” and “Modify All” can be better alternatives to the “View All Data” and “Modify All Data” permissions.

    Users who need to see all users in the organization. Useful if the organization-wide default for the user object is Private. Administrators with the “Manage Users” permission are automatically granted the “View All Users” permission.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    The “View All” and “Modify All” permissions ignore sharing rules and settings, allowing administrators to grant access to records associated with a given object across the organization. “View All” and “Modify All” can be better alternatives to the “View All Data” and “Modify All Data” permissions.
    Thanks.
