            Note
            Note Some sharing rules specify access to an object and its associated objects. For sharing rules that specify access for associated object records, the given access level applies to that sharing rule only. For example, if an account sharing rule specifies Private as the access level for associated contacts, a user can access associated contacts via other means. These means include org-wide defaults, the Modify All Data or View All Data permission, or the Modify All Records or View All Records permission for contacts.

The compressed reasons are: Associated Portal User or Role, Associated Record Owner or Sharing, Manual Sharing, and Owner. For example, if a user owns opportunities associated with an account and was also manually given access to that account, the user is listed only one time on sharing pages.
