Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 6

At Universal Containers, the sharing model is set to private. Sales operations, legal, and accounting users all have the Standard User profile. A person from each department will assist the Account Executive in the sales process. The Sales operations and Accounting Reps need read/write access and legal needs read-only access to the Opportunity object.
What should the Administrator do to ensure that each person has the correct access?

Answer options

• A. Create a criteria-based opportunity sharing rule for each user.
• B. Assign a custom profile to the users that need access opportunities.
• C. Add the users to the opportunity team.
• D. Manually share the account record with each other.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because assigning a custom profile allows for tailored permissions that can meet the specific read/write and read-only access needs for each department. The other options do not adequately address the requirement for structured and scalable access management, as criteria-based sharing rules and manual sharing are less efficient in this scenario.
