    If you have managed the security access and record ownership then you can use filteredview in your crm easily. It will get the data based on the current user privilege anyway.

    You just maintain the ownership of the each record. So you assign the owner to the BU users or BU team.

    Thanks

    Hi Hoda,

    You will have to assign the records to owners who are in their respective BU, then assign the BU level read privileges in their security role.

    Hoda,

    You can set the ownership if you don't want to each BU see each other.

    So, set the owner by Team or each user are enough for this.

    Thanks
