Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect — Question 2

Universal Containers’ organization wide-defaults model is private for the Account object. A sales representative user has Create/Edit access to opportunity records.
Which level of access will the sales rep have to the related account record?

Answer options

• A. Read/Create/Edit access
• B. No access
• C. Read/Create access
• D. Read-only access

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The sales representative will have Read-only access to the related account record because the organization-wide default is set to private, allowing them to see the account but not make changes. They have permissions on the opportunity record, but their access to the account is limited to viewing only. The other options suggest greater access than what is allowed by the private setting.
