Salesforce Spring 25 Release 77 Questions
Universal Containers (UC) is looking to expand its delivery capabilities through a network of
distributors that use aPartner Community license. UCemployees currently can view all
delivery records through the organization-wide default (OWD) setting of Public Read-Only.
Which approach should an architect recommend to limit the records a distributor can see?
A. Create an ownership-based sharing rule to grant access to the distributor.
B. Create a criteria-based sharing rule to grant access to the distributor.
C. Set the External OWD to Private for the Delivery object.
C. Set the External OWD to Private for the Delivery object.
Explanation:
Partner Community users see records based on the External Org-Wide Defaults, which are separate from internal OWD. UC’s internal OWD of Public Read-Only lets employees view all Delivery records, but partners need stricter controls. By setting the External OWD to Private, you ensure no distributor sees any deliveries until you explicitly share them (via sharing sets, rules, or manual shares).
→ Ownership-based sharing rules (A) would grant access only to owned records, but you first need the baseline to be Private.
→ Criteria-based sharing (B) similarly depends on the OWD being Private and then opening up access for filtered records, but the question asks how to limit records—so adjusting the OWD is the starting point.
Only by switching the External OWD to Private do you remove broad exposure and gain full control over which deliveries each distributor can access.
