what is the difference between with sharing and without sharing keywords in apex?

Best Answer chosen by thisisnotapril

Use the with sharing or without sharing keywords on a class to specify whether or not to enforce sharing rules (https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=security_about_sharing_rules.htm&language=en_US). For more information, see the section on the with and without sharing keywords in the Apex docs (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index_Left.htm#CSHID=apex_classes_keywords_sharing.htm|StartTopic=Content%2Fapex_classes_keywords_sharing.htm|SkinName=webhelp).

Hi , 


To Simplify the explanation further : there are two modes in which apex executes - User Mode and System Mode . 

Where the code that Executes in User mode will keep the Sharing Model in mind and access only those records and objects which are available to the user. 

Where as the System mode executes irrespective of Sharing model. 

Based on generalisation Salesforce decided to have few components to execute in User mode by default and Few in System mode by default to change the default and have it our way we use With Sharing or Without Sharing Key words. 

Reply back if you have anything specific. 


Regards,
Ashish
