Facing an absurd issue. USER A is aligned with role A. USER B is aligned with role B. Role A is at higher level than Role B. OWD settings for a custom object Test_c is Private. Through manual sharing i am sharing the record of Test__c object to USER B. 'Grant access using hierarchy' checkbox is also checked. But then also to USER A, the record shared to USER B(through System Admin) is not visible. What could be the reason?

Are Role B and Role A in the same hierarchy? You could be of higher level but not be in the "chain of command"– Sebastian KesselCommented May 29, 2020 at 16:26

No they are in different hierarchy.We can treat Role A is VP and Role B as Manger . Did not understand by the meaning of "chain of command". Please Explain– SFDC LWCCommented May 29, 2020 at 16:34

"Grant Access Using Hierarchies" only works on DIRECT reports. That means that if A is "Vp of Sales" and B is "Director of HR", unless HR reports to Sales then people in Role A will not automatically see records owned by Role B– Sebastian KesselCommented May 29, 2020 at 16:51
