'Sharing Setting' option explanation in Master-Detail Relationship field

Hi,

I am creating a Master-Detail Relationship field on Child object.In step 3,there is a option called "Sharing Setting".I tried to understand through experiments but could not understand the significance of this setting.

Assume that i have selected "Read Only" here.In profile settings i have given basic 'Read' access for both master and Child objects.The Sharing setting for Master is 'Public Read-only'.Kindly explain how the records will be impacted by this setting.

 

Thanks.

This is regarding who can/what is the minimum access on a record required to  create a child record for the master record.

If I need to minimum Read or Edit permission on that Master record to crate a Child record using the reference for that particular master record.

 

Thank sand Regards,

Say you have master object named Invoice, now you have invoice_Line_item  as child object, as one invoice can have one or many items.

That particular setting determine for adding a invoice_Line_item   to an invoice record .

If the user need to have Read permission or Edit permission on the Invoice record to do so.

 

You can realize the difference with a non admin profile and only if the OWD for the master object (Invoice) is Private or Public Read Only.

Hi Dinesh,

Thanks for your reply.I have another user with non-admin user profile and I set Sharing setting for Invoice object to 'Private'.

I logged in through non-admin user i can see Invoice object records where he is the Owner.

Kindly let me know in this case where exactly I can see the change because of that setting?

 

Thanks,

To see the difference you need to First change the Field master detail setting as EDIT .

 

Then create a Master record by Admin, share the record to the non admin user as Read only.

 

Login as the non admin, try to Create a child record for that master record, system will not allow .

 

Set the Master Detail field as READ...

 

Do the same steps, now the non admin user will be able to create a related record for the Master record.

 

Thanks,

Go to set up ..

Go to Create-- Object -- The child Object

In the Custom field section go to the Master Detail Field , Click Edit ...

 

There you will have a section Called "Master-Detail Options" 

 

You can have Radio Button to Select Read Only and Read/Write

 

Thanks,

HI Nasipuri,

I am logged in as a user with Read, Create and Edit access both on master object and detail object. OWD for the master object is private. Do we need Read/Write Sharing setting to create a record on child object from the related list of master object.

Thanks,
Sharath Chandra Parsi.
