Manually share a record with another User or a Partner User

Publish Date: Jun 7, 2026
Description

In Salesforce, manual sharing allows record owners or administrators to grant access to specific records on a case-by-case basis, outside of the default organization-wide defaults (OWD) and role hierarchy. This is useful when a user or Partner User needs temporary or exception-based access to a specific record.
