Universal Containers (UC) service reps are assigned to a profile which has View All on the
Case object. The organization-wide default (OWD) for the Account and Case objects is
Private.
To make sure service reps have access to all relevant information (Accounts and
Contacts) to attend to customer requests, which detail should an architect consider?
A. Service reps will NOT be able to access the relevant Accounts if their OWD is Private.
B. Service reps will NOT be able to access the relevant Contacts iftheir OWD is Controlled by Parent.
C. Service reps will be able to access the relevant Contacts if their OWD is Controlled by Parent.
Explanation:
With Case and Account OWD both Private, and service reps have “View All” on Case, they automatically see all Cases. However, Contacts default OWD is often “Controlled by Parent,” meaning Contact access mirrors Account access. Since reps need account visibility to view customer data, the architect must ensure Accounts are shared (via Role Hierarchy, sharing rules, or manual shares). Once reps can see the Account, they inherit access to its Contacts.
Option A is a false alarm—Private OWD does restrict Accounts but can be mitigated. Option B misconstrues Controlled by Parent; Contacts are always tied to parent Account access. Therefore, C correctly identifies that enabling “Controlled by Parent” on Contacts unlocks the necessary Contact visibility once account access is granted.
A banking company uses a VIP Flag in the Contact Object that they want only Private
Banking Reps to see.
Which approach is recommended to meet this requirement?
A. Change the type of VIPFlag field to a picklist, define a new record type for the Contact Object and make the picklist field available for Editing.
B. Define a page layout for Contact Object and add the VIP Flag field for that layout. Remove the VIP Flag field from other layouts.
C. Set the Field Level Security for the VIP Flag field so that it is visible to Private Banking Rep Profile.
Explanation:
To restrict a field to a single profile, the Field-Level Security settings are the most direct mechanism. You simply grant “Visible” (and “Read-Only” or “Read/Write,” as needed) to the Private Banking Rep profile and remove visibility on all other profiles.
→ Changing the field to a picklist/record type (A) is overkill and doesn’t restrict by profile.
→ Page Layout control (B) hides it on specific layouts, but a savvy user could use API or reports to access the field if FLS still allows visibility. FLS is the only way to guarantee the field is truly hidden for unauthorized users.
Who can view a PDF that is uploaded to the Files Home private library by a user?
A. The user and users above themin the Role Hierarchy
B. The user and users with View All Data permission
C. Only the user
Explanation:
Files in a user’s private library are by definition accessible only to that user. They don’t inherit the broader record sharing model because they aren’t attached to a record; they live solely in the user’s personal Files Home. Even managers above in the Role Hierarchy (A) or users with “View All Data” (B) can’t see another user’s private library content. To share, the owner must explicitly publish or share the file with specific users or groups.
Which community function is impacted by having the Site User Visibility turned off in Sharing Settings?
A. Updating their user profile.
B. Searching for other external users.
C. Searching for internal users.
Explanation:
Site User Visibility in Sharing Settings controls whether external (community) users can see and search for each other. When it’s turned off, community users cannot find or view other external users in lookups, chatter, or user lists. Internal user visibility and profile updates (A and C) remain unaffected because Site User Visibility applies only to the portal’s external user base.
This setting is crucial for privacy in a community—especially a Partner Community—where partners should not necessarily see every other partner’s profile. Turning it off locks down that level of discovery.
Universal Containers (UC) has created a custom Invoice object. Standard sales users at
UC can see the records in search layout, but when they click to viewthe detail, only record
name, created date, and last modified date are shown. When the system admin accesses
it, he or she sees the full record detail with many more data fields.
What is the likely cause of this issue?
A. A role-based sharing rule is missing and should be added for the sales user's role to grant access to the fields.
B. The Sales Users profile does not have access to the remaining fields.
C. The page layout assigned to Sales User profile has only Read-Only access to the fields.
Explanation:
When users can see the record header but only a few fields on detail view, it indicates Field-Level Security rather than sharing. Page Layout controls which fields appear, but FLS determines visibility at all levels—even in the API and search. If the Sales Users profile lacks “Visible” permission for certain Invoice fields, those fields never render, and the user only sees the default Name, Created Date, and Last Modified fields, which are always visible.
→ A missing sharing rule (A) wouldn’t let them see the record at all.
→ A page layout omission (C) hides fields on the layout but doesn’t explain why the admin sees more fields; admins can see everything regardless of layout if FLS permits. The differential visibility points squarely to FLS misconfiguration on the Sales Users profile.
