Salesforce Administrator — Question 227

Ursa Major Solar's default, organization-wide sharing for accounts is set to Public Read/Write. The Administrator needs to ensure that Marketing never modifies an Account record.
Which action should the Administrator take to accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. Assign a permission set to Marketing users which removes Edit permission.
• B. Separate the Marketing role hierarchy from the Sales role hierarchy.
• C. Remove Edit access on Accounts from the custom Marketing profile.
• D. Switch Organization-Wide Default Sharing to Public Read Only.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because modifying the custom Marketing profile to remove Edit access ensures that users in Marketing cannot change Account records. Option A is incorrect as a permission set alone may not be sufficient if other permissions are granted. Option B does not prevent editing but only changes the role structure. Option D would restrict access for all users, which is not the desired outcome.
