Sharing data using Apex managed sharing

Apex managed sharing provides us with the ability to support specific sharing requirements programmatically through Apex or the SOAP API.

We can do this programmatically with the help of technical team members who are conversant with Apex programming, or we can use flows. Flows using Record-Triggered Flow have the ability to access and make changes to Share objects. So, you now have the power to grant or revoke specialized access to users with a click using flows.
