Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect — Question 31

Universal Containers would like to control access to records and objects according to the following business requirements:
• Sales users can view all account records but only edit their own records.
• Sales managers can view all account records but only edit records of their team.
• Service users can view all account records that are not marked with a RecordType of Prospect.

Which organization-wide default configuration should an architect recommend to fulfill these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Public Read/Transfer
• B. Public Read/Write
• C. Private

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Private' because it allows users to view records but restricts editing rights based on ownership, which aligns with the specified requirements. The 'Public Read/Transfer' option would grant too much access to users, allowing them to edit records they do not own. Similarly, 'Public Read/Write' would allow all users to edit any record, which does not meet the outlined business needs.
