Apex sharing for Contact Object

Hi All

 

I want to share the contact using trigger, when i tried the below code i am getting an error "Variable does not exist: ContactAccessLevel at line 29 column 9"

 

trigger ContactMakePublicTrigger on Contact (after insert) {

ID groupId = [select id from Group where Type = 'Organization'].id;
if (Trigger.isInsert) {
List<ContactShare> sharesToCreate = new List<ContactShare>();
for (Contact contact : Trigger.new) {
ContactShare cs = new ContactShare();
cs.ContactAccessLevel = 'Edit';
cs.ContactId = contact.Id;
cs.UserOrGroupId = groupId;
sharesToCreate.add(cs);
}
if (!sharesToCreate.isEmpty())

insert sharesToCreate;

}

 

}

 

Please help me 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

This is related to your org wide sharing defaults, but the error message isn't that helpful.

This field (ContactAccessLevel ) must be set to an access level that is higher than the organization’s default access level for contacts.

for example: if Org wide default is 'Read Only', then ContactAccessLevel should be 'Edit'.

 

and also if for example accounts are public read/write and contacts are controlled by parent. This means that everyone already had full access to all contacts, and thus contact sharing rules aren't available.

 

 

Hope this will help you..!!

This will not throw any error for  ContactShare cs = new ContactShare(). Just veryfy once again the default OWD of contact in your sandbox and Let me know if it works, As it worked for me.

Hi prashant

 

Thanks for your reply !!!

 

The contactShare cs = new contactshare() is not throwing an error but when i am accessing the fields of contactshare it is throwing an error

 

The below 3 lines are throwing an error. Error " ContactAccessLevel : Variable does not exist"

 

cs.ContactAccessLevel = 'Edit';

cs.ContactId = cont.Id;

 cs.UserOrGroupId =  at.UserId;

 

Thanks
