How to create a __share object for Custom Object

Hi All,

 

How can I create a __share for a custom object.

 

For Ex: I have created a custom object named  MyObject and how can I create a share object for it named MyObject__Share.

 

Note: I have the permission Manage Users as described in the docs.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I wanted to know when and how the __share object is created for any custom object . In the link provided I see that a __share object is already created and we are instantiating a new instance of that object.

 

It would be great if somebody could let me know whan and how is the __share object created. I am not able to see the __share object in the Schema.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

You cann't create "__share" object by yourself. System create it for you. If shareing setting of an object is "Public Read/Write" system will not create "__share" object, as there is no scope of sharing, all record is open to everybody in org. However, if sharing setting of object is either "Public Read Only" or "Private", system itself create a "__share" object for you.

 

Please let me know if you have any question about above.

 

Happy to help you!

Yes as digamberlucky explained,
__Share objects are created automatically based on the OWD settings in the org.

Create a custom object and Goto

Hi bugu,
By Default if OWD of the object is not set to most permissive access level(Public Read/Write) ,Then there will be automatically share object created for the existing object .
For Example if OWD for 'Account' is not set to Public Read/Write then 'AccountShare' object will be existing in the back-ground .

Please check below post which can help you understand with simple real time example .
