Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Designer — Question 26

Sales managers want their team members to help each other close Opportunities. The Opportunity and Account organization-wide defaults are private. To grant Opportunity access to sales reps on the same team, ownership-based sharing rules were created for each team.
What is the side effect of this approach?

Answer options

• A. Sales reps on the same team will have Read access to the Accounts for Opportunities owned by their team members.
• B. All sales reps will have Read access to all Accounts.
• C. Sales Reps on the same team will have Edit access to the Accounts for Opportunities owned by their team members.
• D. All sales reps will have Read access to Accounts for all Opportunities.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because ownership-based sharing rules allow broader access beyond just the Opportunities owned by team members, resulting in all sales reps getting Read access to all Accounts associated with Opportunities. Options A and C are incorrect as they suggest limited access only to team-owned Opportunities. Option B is also incorrect as it implies unrestricted access to all Accounts rather than just those related to Opportunities.
