How to use Apex Trigger to create OpportunityShare?

Hi,

I would like to create a trigger to create an OpportunityShare record for a particular user whenever a new Opportunity is created. The end goal is to create a trigger to automatically share all Opportunities when the Opportunities are created. Below is the logic I am using and the errors I am getting. I need help figuring out how I can create an OpportunityShare record via Apex Trigger. Any thoughts as to why I am getting the error?

Code: 
List<OpportunityShare> oppShareList = new List<OpportunityShare>();

User usr = [Select Id, name from user limit 1];//i will be querying the user involved in real code

for(Opportunity opp : oppList) {
    OpportunityShare oppShare = new OpportunityShare();

    oppShare.OpportunityAccessLevel = 'Edit';
    oppShare.OpportunityId = opp.Id;
    oppShare.UserOrGroupId = usr.Id;
   oppShareList.add(oppShare);

}

insert oppShareList;
Error:
  • Variable does not exist: OpportunityAccessLevel

Hi Prabhat,

Thank you for your time.

I have found the solution to be as you suggested to use the Salesforce out of the box Sharing Settings.
