I'm trying to share a record for a community user programatically. Tried below code in Execute anonymous.

// Create new sharing object for the custom object. myObject__Share objShare = new myObject__Share(); // Set the ID of record being shared. objShare.ParentId = 'a0Vf4000001Hprq'; //recordId; // Set the ID of user or group being granted access. objShare.UserOrGroupId = '005f4000000vjvX'; // Set the access level. objShare.AccessLevel = 'Read'; insert objShare;

But unfortunately it fails with error "Line: 14, Column: 1 System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION, field integrity exception: unknown (invalid user or group: 005f4000000vjvX): [unknown]" .

Is it not possible to grant sharing access to community users via manual sharing? I could not find a related documentation on it. Or should I set some configuration settings for this? Appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Note: This could have been achieved using Sharing sets in Community settings, but due to design constraints I'm not able to use it.

  • and I managed to get the required design changes to add contact lookup on the object, and do it using Sharing sets in Community settings. Commented Nov 9, 2017 at 0:11

Customer community users cannot participate in advanced sharing. This can be worked around in 2 ways:
1.'with sharing' can be removed from class signature allowing updates/reads from within the class.
2.The ownerId of this record can be changed to point it to the Contact's ->UserId.
So, here objShare.OwnerID = CustomercommunityContact->UserID

  • Hi @Shalini, Thanks for the reply. 1st one is not recommended I believe. 2nd one I tried, and that is the one caused error. Was it successful for you? Probably I guess it's again 'Without sharing'. Commented Nov 9, 2017 at 0:09
  • I tried both options and they worked for different scenarios. What is the error you are getting on the 2nd one? Commented Nov 9, 2017 at 0:51
