Select security roles to assign records to

Before an assignment rule can assign your sellers and sales teams new opportunities, leads, and insights, you need to select the security roles that can be automatically assigned to records. Then, make sure your sellers are given one of those roles.

Segments and assignment rules are part of the work assignment feature. Work assignment is available in sales accelerator version 9.1.23074.10021 and is rolling out in phases in different regions. Learn more about work assignment.
