QuestionQ118

Declarative Sharing

A sales representative, John, at Universal Containers (UC) asked to update information on an account record for which he has READ-only access. John requested EDIT permission from the record owner, Paul. Paul manually shared the record with John.

Assuming the Account object’s OWD is Public Read-Only, what is the impact in the system?

  • A New AccountShare record is created. Row Cause is “Manual” and Access Level is “Read/Write”.
  • B New AccountShare record is created. Row Cause is “Owner” and Access Level is “Full”.
  • C Existing AccountShare record is updated. Row Cause is “Manual” and Access Level is “Read/Write”.
  • D Existing AccountShare record is updated. Row Cause is “Owner” and User/Group is “John”.
Explanation

With Public Read-Only organization-wide defaults, users can read account records but cannot update them unless they receive additional access. Manual sharing by the record owner grants John Read/Write access through a new AccountShare record whose row cause is Manual. The owner’s existing owner-based share is not changed.
