Salesforce Certified Data Architect — Question 70

Universal Containers is preparing to implement Sales Cloud and would like its users to have Read Only access to an Account record if they have access to its child Opportunity record.
How would a data architect implement this sharing requirement between objects?

Answer options

• A. Implicit sharing will automatically handle this with standard functionality.
• B. Create an owner-based sharing rule.
• C. Add appropriate users to the Account team.
• D. Create a criteria-based sharing rule.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because implicit sharing automatically grants access to parent records when users have access to child records, which is the requirement here. Options B, C, and D involve manual configurations that do not inherently provide the Read Only access based on child record permissions.
