Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fundamentals (legacy) — Question 27

A company has four territory managers. Ten salespeople report to each manager.
Territory managers need to be able to see records related to each salesperson that they manage. Salespeople must be able to see only their own records.
What should you implement?

Answer options

• A. Active Directory groups
• B. Role-based security
• C. App-based security
• D. Field-level security

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, App-based security, because it allows for specific access controls based on the application context, ensuring that territory managers can access records of their salespeople while restricting salespeople to their own data. Active Directory groups (A) and Role-based security (B) are more generalized and do not provide the fine-grained access needed in this scenario. Field-level security (D) controls access to individual fields, which does not address the broader requirement of record visibility for managers.
