Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Designer — Question 17

A sales rep (John) at Universal Containers (UC) requested to update information in an account record where he has READ only access. John requested the EDIT access permission from the owner of the record (Paul). Paul manually shared the record with John.
Assuming the OWD of the Account object is Public Read-Only, what is the impact in the system?

Answer options

• A. New AccountShare record is created. Row Cause is “Manual” and Access Level is “Read/Write”.
• B. New AccountShare record is created. Row Cause is “Owner” and Access Level is “Full”.
• C. Existing AccountShare record is updated. Row Cause is “Manual” and Access Level is “Read/Write”.
• D. Existing AccountShare record is updated. Row Cause is “Owner” and User/Group is “John”.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when Paul shares the record with John manually, it creates or updates an AccountShare record for John with Read/Write access. Options A and B incorrectly suggest that a new record is created rather than updating an existing one, while D incorrectly states the row cause and access level.
