What is a Role Hierarchy used for in Salesforce?

Accepted Answer

Role Hierarchy in Salesforce is utilized to manage record access. It grants users visibility into records owned by those below them, facilitating collaboration. This is achieved through a hierarchical structure. Incorrect options, such as defining org charts or assigning profiles, are unrelated to record visibility.
