I have below apex method code which is executed by community guest users for the public-facing website.

PageReference pageRef = Page.myVFPage;
    ContentVersion conVer = new ContentVersion();
            conVer.ContentLocation = 'S'; 
            conVer.PathOnClient = PDF_TITLE_EXT; 
            conVer.Title = PDF_TITLE; 
            conVer.VersionData = pageRef.getContentAsPdf();
            conVer.Origin = 'H';
            insert conVer;

Above works fine and save the file under-owned by me tab as shown in the below image

enter image description here

now I need to display this file so creating a content distribution record

ContentDistribution contentDist              = new ContentDistribution();
        contentDist.Name                             = 'customName';
        contentDist.ContentVersionId                 = contentVersionId;
        contentDist.PreferencesAllowViewInBrowser    = true;
        contentDist.PreferencesLinkLatestVersion     = true;
        contentDist.PreferencesNotifyOnVisit         = false;
        contentDist.PreferencesPasswordRequired      = false;
        contentDist.PreferencesAllowOriginalDownload = true;
insert contentDist;

executing above code as site guest user gives below error

{"status":500,"body":{"fieldErrors":{},"pageErrors":[{"statusCode":"INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_ON_CROSS_REFERENCE_ENTITY","message":"insufficient access rights on cross-reference id"}],"index":null,"duplicateResults":[]},"headers":{}}

I have tried creating content document link

ContentDocumentLink conDocLink = new ContentDocumentLink();
        conDocLink.LinkedEntityId = [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Name =:accountName]?.id;
        conDocLink.ContentDocumentId = conDocId;  //ContentDocumentId Id from ContentVersion
        conDocLink.shareType = 'V';
        conDocLink.visibility = 'AllUsers';
        insert conDocLink;

it inserts content link but inserting content distribution still gives the same error

Beow are my content delivery settings.

  • Are you creating the records in guest user context from incognito browser?

  • Thank you for your answer, but whatever guest user add to files shows under owned by me not under asset library, could you please tell me what should I do so that content version show under assest library instead of owned by me?

  • Actually, I have tried that but when I query content workspace as system admin I get the results but when I query workspace as guest user, it throws exception that list has now row to assign to sObject

  • I also tried by hard coding the workspace id of asset library now it throws insufficient access issue while inserting content document link record.

@gs650x I have the same problem as you, according to my research, guest users can't create public link(ContentDistribution) since winter'19. Is that correct? Do you have a solution for this problem?
