## Discussion

Discussion This error typically occurs in the public database in one of these circumstances: You have roles for record types. Your app is trying to accept a share that the user doesn’t have an invitation for. Let users know they can’t perform this operation. This error is nonrecoverable and you can’t retry the operation.
