Salesforce Administrator — Question 506

At Universal Containers, a user's department determines which fields the user can see and edit on Opportunities. For example, users on the Sales team can edit all fields on the Opportunity, while users on the Support team have read-only access to these fields.
In which location is field-level security controlled for users on these teams?

Answer options

• A. Role
• B. Sharing Rules
• C. Profile
• D. Public Groups

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Field-level security is managed through user Profiles in Salesforce, which determine the visibility and editability of fields for different users. While Roles and Sharing Rules influence record access, they do not directly control field-level access. Public Groups are used for sharing records and not for managing field permissions.
