ContractFeed

Represents a single feed item in the feed displayed on the detail page for a contract record. A contract feed shows recent changes to a contract record for any fields that are tracked in feeds, as well as posts and comments about the record. It is a useful way to stay up-to-date with changes made to contracts in Salesforce. This object is available in API version 18.0 and later.

Special Access Rules

You can delete a feed item only if you created it, or if you have the any of these permissions:

“Modify All Data”
“Modify All” on the Contract object
“Moderate Chatter”
Note
Because it does not include “View All Data”, users with the “Moderate Chatter” permission are able to delete only the feed items and comments they are able to see.
