My Org has 2 brands "A" and "B". On each contact record there is field called Brand. If this is populated with "A", record type is changed to "RT-A" and if Brand has value "B", record type is changed to "RT-B"

There are 2 profiles "case rep-A" and "case rep-B" who are assigned 'RT-A' and 'RT-B' recordtypes respectively from Sharing settings.

  • OWD for contact to Private.
  • Defined 2 criteria based sharing rules : 1) If brand on any record is A, share the record with Role and Subordinates of A 2) If brand on any record is B, share the record with Role and Subordinates of B

Now, created a contact with Brand = A as system admin and logged in as profile A but unable to view this contact.

Is there anything I am misssing.

Thanks

There is a way which can help in troubleshooting and narrowing the problem

Query your contactShare table with newly created contactId and the userId for the user you are troubleshooting and if you dont get any records this means rule did not run.

[ Select ContactAccessLevel,
         ContactId,
         RowC‌​ause,
        UserOrGroupId 
       FROM ContactShare 
       WHERE ContactId='id' AND UserOrGroupId='userId'];

If you feel you are not missing its worth checking with SFDC support to see if they help you troubleshooting further
