View Contact and Accounts Question

[ekolb]

Ok,

My office has a rather voluminous set of contacts, I want to import all of them into sugar but I don't necessarily need all users in every department to have to see all of them.

What I was trying to do is allow users to have access to contacts that they own and be able to see any contacts for tasks or cases for which they are assigned. i thought creating a role and granting view permission for owned contacts would be the way but they are not technically the owner, and there is no drop down for "assigned"

Hopefully i am just missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi ekolb,

when it comes to roles, 'owner' = assign to user for a record.
