Quick Apex Account team and sharing question!

Hello,
 
Is there some type of groupID associated with the Accountteammember object?  In the different share objects you can create a sharing rule by assigning a UserorGroupId to the share record. 
 
I am attempting to write a trigger to share a case with all the members in a single Account team.  Is there a single Accountteammember GroupId that I can create a case sharing record off of? Or do I have to create a new sharing rule for each individual member in the Account team? 
 
If this isn't possible, would a possible solution be to create a new Group (containing all the members from that account)?  This way I would have an group wrapper to represent all the userId's related to that account and could create a caseshare rule using that ID.
 
Thanks!

There is no special group for the set of accountteammembers associated to a single account.

If you want to use that data you would need to query the accountteamMembers for the account and then create a caseShare for each one.

The group approach is probably better but either way there are some issues with managing shares programatically - through apex or even just the API. One if the biggest is that changing owner on case will cause your shares to be deleted.

Thanks for the reply Andrew, also thanks for the help during the conference in San Francisco :smileyvery-happy:  I will probably pursue the group sharing model in that case.  Is there anyway to lock down the case owner field or create a trigger that will prevent modification?  We do not intend to utilize or change it for any reason...
