Lime Cat Custom object sharing, no __Share objects
I am having an issue with custom objects being visible to users who need to see them. Here's my example:
I have a custom object Widget__c.
I have a page Widgets that displays a list of Widget__c objects.
I have an admin page that sllows system admins to create Widget__c objects through a custom wizard.
Desired behavior:
When a system administrator creates a Widget__C object it appears on the Widgets page in the list.
When a non-system administrator visits the Widgets page, they should see all Widget__c objects listed.
Actual behavior:
When a system administrator creates a Widget__C object it appears on the Widgets page in the list.
When a non-system administrator visits the Widgets page, they cannot see any objects listed.
When I look into sharing issues I am reading that custom objects should have a Widget__Share object associated with them and I can create these shares to allow other users access to objects created. When I attempt this in practice, however I don't have any Widget__Share objects. I also do not see them in the schema browser in the Eclipse IDE.
I tried making the list page controller use "without sharing" which didn't change the outcome.
What can I do to have object created by a system administrator be viewable by other users of the app?
This is all being done in Developer Edition.
Not sure if it's any help, but I found that there weren't any Widget__Share associated with Widget__c until I set the organization-wide defaults to "Private" for object Widget under Security Controls --> Sharing Settings.
