Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 459

Universal Containers has Public Read/Write as the Account organization-wide default (OWD) setting. Visitors to the customer community site report that they can see all of the company's account records.
How should an app builder configure Account sharing so that community users only see their own Account?

Answer options

• A. Set the account external OWD to private.
• B. Define an owner-based sharing rule for external account.
• C. Define a permission set for external accounts.
• D. Create an account record type for external accounts.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Setting the account external OWD to private ensures that community users can only see their own Accounts, restricting visibility to only records they own. The other options, such as sharing rules and permission sets, do not directly address the OWD setting required to limit visibility for all community users effectively.
