Custom Record Sharing Component

Sharing:

Sharing enables record-level access control for all custom objects, as well as many standard objects (such as Account, Contact, Opportunity and Case).
Administrators first set an object’s organization-wide default sharing access level, and then grant additional access based on record ownership,
the role hierarchy, sharing rules, and manual sharing.Developers can then use Apex managed sharing to grant additional access programmatically with Apex.

Features of Sharing:

• Most sharing for a record is maintained in a related sharing object, similar to an access control list (ACL) found in other platforms.
• You can easily remove this access after it’s no longer needed.
• When the button is available on the page layout, administrators see the button on all records.
• Non-administrators see this button on records that only they own.
