Unable to insert Account Share object through apex code

Hi,

A user is running a class in without sharing context and still the user is not able to insert AccountShare object record through  apex code. When i searched online , I found that a user should have modify all data permission to insert the AccountShare record.

But when there is another custom object to which the user has absolutely no access , he is able to insert the record through apex code.

Is this a salesforce bug or what?How can i overcome this.

Any ideas are much appreciated.

Regards,
Ankit

HI Ankit, Have you checked if the OWD for Account is very restrictive or less restrictive than the access the user is trying to insert in AccountShare. Because one reason why the insert fails is that the sharing access that is being inserted is less than the access level defined in OWD. 

Check the below post for more information on this
