Salesforce Certified Advanced Administrator — Question 101

A custom object called Item has a many-to-many relationship with the Account and Quota objects. At Cloud Kicks, account owners are changed frequently while ownership of Quota records remains unchanged. When an account owner is updated, the new account owner can only see Item records if they are also the owner of the Quota record.

What step should the administrator take to give access to all Item records?

Answer options

• A. Change the data format of the Quota relationship field from master-detail to lookup.
• B. Create a Quota criteria-based sharing rule using ISCHANGED for the Account Owner field.
• C. Re-assign the Quota master-detail to the primary and the Account master-detail to secondary.
• D. Give the account owner Read access to both the Account and the Quota objects.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because granting Read access to both the Account and Quota objects allows the new account owner to view all associated Item records. Options A and C do not resolve the issue of access based on ownership, and option B does not ensure that access is granted automatically when ownership changes.
