dke01 Attachment Sharing
How does attachments and sharing work?
I thought that it would be setup as a mater-detail to the parent and the attachment sharing would be based off of the parents sharing rules?
I have a parent Object
Foo_c
User A is the Owner. And I have given User B Read Write permission to a row. This row has an attachment.
User A can view, edit the attachment find as he is the owner.
However
User B can access the attachment directly by going to the URL /servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file= <ATTACHMENTID>
this works.
But doing a SOQL select stament for all attachments where parentID = xxx Does not work for user B.
How can I fix this so User B can have the same sharing rules as user A.
There doesn not seem to be an Attachment__share object. But there is a Foo__share Object but these setting do not seem to carry across for attachments.
Ok, It seems that I was wrong.
The Attachment sharing is based of the Parent Objects sharing rules so long as the attachment.isPrivate = false.

So, the only way to reffer to Attachments is thru object A?
You will need to make a new object where you relate A user attachments to B users.
Let's say relation__c
make some custom fields
userBId__c here you will store the b object id
attachmentid__c here you will have your attachment id
Then all you need is to make a query where you retrieve the attachments based on the b user, and that way both users A and B will have access to the attachment thru soql.

Thanks, so basically by the sounds of things making a custom object 'relation__c' is implementing my own version of _share object.
I will give it a try and see if it works.
I do not know why everything in salesforce is so inconsistant. Why do documents have isPublic, attachments have isPrivate and attachments uses a seperate security model then other custom sObjects. Would make sense if they we could set the sharing settings/rules on attachments like regular sObject.
