# ContactRequestShare

Represents a list of access levels to a ContactRequest with an explanation of the access level. This object is available in API version 45.0 and later.

You can only create, edit, and delete sharing entries for standard objects whose RowCause field is set to Manual. Sharing entries for standard objects with different RowCause values are created as a result of your Salesforce org’s sharing configuration and are read-only. For some sharing mechanisms, such as sharing sets, sharing entries aren’t stored at all.

#### Note

While Salesforce currently maintains read-only sharing entries for multiple sharing mechanisms, it’s possible that we’ll stop storing certain share records to improve performance. As a best practice, don’t create customizations that rely on the availability of these sharing entries. Any changes to sharing behavior will be communicated before they occur.

## Supported Calls

create(), delete(), describeSObjects(), query(), retrieve(), update(), upsert()

Possible values are:

- Manual—The User or Group has access because a user with “All” access manually shared the ContactRequest with them.
- Owner—The User is the owner of the ContactRequest.

This object lets you determine which users and groups can view and edit ContactRequest records owned by other users.

If you attempt to create a new record that matches an existing record, the create() call updates any modified fields and returns the existing record.
