I have a basic class with no sharing keyword as I want it to inherit the permissions from callee. What would the context be?
I assume it should run as system (aka without sharing) context, but what I am seeing is opposite. I am getting security exceptions that I shouldn't and fixes by upgrading the class to without sharing.
Is this expected behaviour?
Invocable Actions are called through the REST API. In fact, you can use them outside of flows, such as just calling them in JavaScript, or in Salesforce1, etc. That said, it makes sense that security would be enabled by default, since it can be accessed from any context. In fact, the Invocable Action can't even be called unless the user has profile or permission set access to the class. I don't think you'll find any documentation on it, though.
I've confirmed that invocable methods inside classes with inherited sharing will run with sharing when called from Process Builder. Which is unfortunate because Process Builder is supposed to essentially run without sharing. Maybe this was an oversight?
