Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 421

An app builder at Cloud Kicks has been working on changes to a custom Shoe Sales app in a sandbox and is ready to deploy their changes to production with a change set. Part of the work included updates to a permission set.

What should the app builder take into consideration when deploying the change set to production?

Answer options

• A. The deployed permission set will only contain changes related to the change set.
• B. Changes to field-level security in the permission set will not be applied.
• C. The deployed permission set will merge with the existing permission set.
• D. The existing permission set will be completely overwritten.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when a change set is deployed, it completely overwrites the existing permission set with the new configuration. Option A is incorrect as it implies that only changes from the change set will be present, while C wrongly suggests a merging process that does not occur. Option B is also incorrect because field-level security changes are indeed applied during the deployment.
