What are Queues in Salesforce?

The collection of records that doesn’t have a specific owner in Salesforce is known as Queues. Multiple employees can have access to such records and can easily view the data present in them. Moreover, users can claim the ownership of the Queue and get the data under their name. This is why it becomes a useful factor when a large number of members are involved in a single project. Hence, you can distribute and assign records based on their priority levels in Salesforce.

How to create a Salesforce queue

It is important to note that the following profiles have the authority to change the users of the queue,

  • Salesforce Admins
  • User with “Manage” permission

Adding Records in Queue

Users can manually add records in the queue by changing the respective owner. You can even add cases to multiple queues depending on their criteria. The records will continue to remain in the queue until a defined owner is given to the entire group. On the other hand, the queue members can also claim to become the owner.

Permission Levels of Queues in Salesforce

On the other hand, the permissions available to users in the Organization Wide Defaults model apply to object’s records in queues as well. These are,

Public Read Only

The public members in the organization can take ownership of records with adequate permission. However, they need to have a higher hierarchy than other members in the queue. It also depends on the sharing settings of the record.

Public Transfer

The records in this queue are ready for reading and viewing by the users within the Salesforce organization.

Private

The Private Queue is more secure than other queues because users can only view the records. Also, you need to be placed higher in the hierarchy levels than the current queue member.
