#### Note

To enable access to this object for your org, contact Salesforce customer support. However, we recommend that you instead use Metadata API to programmatically update owner sharing rules because it triggers automatic sharing rule recalculation. The [SharingRules](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.264.0.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_sharingrules.htm) Metadata API type is enabled for all orgs.

## Supported Calls

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

## Fields

| Field | Details |
| --- | --- |
| Description | 
Type

textarea

Properties

Create, Filter, Nillable, Sort, Update

Description

A description of the sharing rule. Maximum size is 1000 characters. This field is available in API version 29.0 and later.



 |
| DeveloperName | 

Type

string

Properties

Create, Defaulted on create, Filter, Group, Sort, Update

Description

The unique name of the object in the API. This name can contain only underscores and alphanumeric characters, and must be unique in your org. It must begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores. In managed packages, this field prevents naming conflicts on package installations. With this field, a developer can change the object’s name in a managed package and the changes are reflected in a subscriber’s organization. Corresponds to **Rule Name** in the user interface.

This field is available in API version 24.0 and later.

When creating large sets of data, always specify a unique DeveloperName for each record. If no DeveloperName is specified, performance slows down while Salesforce generates one for each record.
