platform-sharing-owd-configure

authentic

Use when the user wants to retrieve or update Organization-Wide Default (OWD) sharing settings for Salesforce objects. TRIGGER on org-wide defaults, checking/viewing sharing defaults, changing default access levels (Private, Public Read Only, Public Read/Write, Controlled by Parent), internal/external access for standard or custom objects, making records private, or sharingModel in .object-meta.xml files. DO NOT TRIGGER for sharing rules, criteria-based sharing, role hierarchy, or manual sharing — delegate to platform-sharing-rules-generate.

• **In scope**: Retrieving current OWD settings, updating internal/external access levels for standard and custom objects
• **Out of scope**: Sharing rules, role hierarchy configuration, manual sharing, permission sets, criteria-based sharing — delegate to appropriate skills

When not to use
