Universal Containers is launching a full line of new products, and Service Cloud should support the following
requirements:
• Service reps need to collaborate with other teams.
• The product development team needs to be alerted on high-priority cases for specific products.
Which solution meets these requirements?
A. Use Case Teams to collaborate on cases and use Salesforce Flow for notifications.
B. Use Case Teams to collaborate on cases and use Escalation Rules for notifications.
C. Use Account Teams to collaborate on cases and use Salesforce Flow for notifications.
Explanation:
Universal Containers needs two things:
Collaboration on cases → This is best achieved with Case Teams, which allow multiple users across different departments to work together on a single case. Case Teams are specifically designed for case-level collaboration, unlike Account Teams which focus on account-level collaboration.
Alerts for product development team on high-priority cases → The most flexible and scalable way to handle this is with Salesforce Flow. Flows can be configured to send notifications, update records, or trigger actions when certain conditions are met (e.g., case priority = High and product = New Product Line). This ensures the product development team is automatically alerted without manual intervention.
❌ Why Option B is Incorrect: Use Case Teams + Escalation Rules
Escalation Rules are designed to reassign cases or escalate them based on time criteria, not to send targeted alerts to specific teams like product development. They are less flexible compared to Flow for this requirement.
❌ Why Option C is Incorrect: Use Account Teams + Flow
Account Teams are for collaboration at the account level, not case-level collaboration. Since the requirement is about cases, Account Teams are not the right fit.

👉 Key Exam Tip:
- Case Teams = collaboration on cases.
- Flows = flexible automation for notifications and alerts.
- Escalation Rules = time-based reassignment/escalation, not targeted notifications.
- Account Teams = account-level collaboration, not case-level.
Cloud Kicks (CK) provides product support based on Service Contracts. A customer's Service Contract
includes the same Service Level Agreement (SLA) for both Cases and Work Orders. CK would like an
efficient method to manage the setup.
What is the recommended configuration to meet the requirements?
A. Create a single entitlement process on both the Case and the Work Order.
B. Create a Flow to assign the entitlement process to the Work Order.
C. Create separate entitlement processes for the Case and Work Order.
Explanation
Cloud Kicks uses the same SLA for both Cases and Work Orders.
In Salesforce Entitlements, if two objects follow identical milestones, timelines, and business rules, the recommended approach is to:
➤ Reuse the same entitlement process
You can configure one entitlement process and apply it to multiple supported objects, including:
- Case
- Work Order
- Work Order Line Item
This ensures:
- A single source of truth for SLA logic
- Easier maintenance (update once, apply everywhere)
- Consistency across Case and Work Order handling
Because the SLA is the same, duplicating or recreating separate processes increases admin overhead without providing any benefit.
❌ Why the other options are incorrect
B. Create a Flow to assign the entitlement process to the Work Order.
Flows can assign entitlements or entitlement processes, but the question isn’t about automation.
The SLA configuration should be solved at the entitlement process level, not by adding more automation.
This does not address the need for efficient setup of shared SLA logic.
C. Create separate entitlement processes for the Case and Work Order.
This is unnecessary because:
- Both objects use the same SLA.
- Maintaining two processes doubles administrative work.
Salesforce recommends reusing a single entitlement process when milestones and logic are identical.
📘 Salesforce Reference (concept-level guidance)
Salesforce supports using one entitlement process across multiple objects when the SLA is identical.
(See: Salesforce Entitlements – Entitlement Processes for Multiple Objects in official docs.)
An Agentforce Service Agent needs to access and update Case records, retrieve information from Knowledge articles, and run flows to automate certain processes for unauthenticated customer sessions.
A. Use Organization-Wide Sharing Defaults (OWD) and filters at the topic/action level.
B. Use the "New Agent User" option and use principle of least privilege to apply specific permissions.
C. Grant the AI agent user the "System Administrator" profile for maximum compatibility.
Explanation:
1️⃣❌ “Use Organization-Wide Sharing Defaults (OWD) and filters at the topic/action level.”
This on its own is not sufficient / not the primary answer.
OWDs and sharing determine record visibility (e.g., Case access), but:
- They don’t fully control which Salesforce actions an AI agent can perform.
- Agentforce uses topic/action-level controls and a dedicated AI agent user with specific permissions.
You still need to correctly configure the Agent User and its permissions; high-level sharing alone doesn’t meet least-privilege and security best practices.
So this is partially related but not the main prescribed configuration by Salesforce.
2️⃣ ✅ “Use the "New Agent User" option and use principle of least privilege to apply specific permissions.”
This is the correct / recommended approach.
Agentforce uses a dedicated AI agent user created from the “New Agent User” flow in Setup.
Salesforce best practice:
- Create a separate integration/agent user, not a human user.
- Follow principle of least privilege:
- Grant only:
- Object permissions needed for Case access/update.
- Knowledge read permissions as needed.
- Flow run permissions for only the flows the agent should execute.
Use a minimal custom profile and/or permission sets to grant:
- Read/Edit on Case (and related objects as needed).
- Knowledge access (e.g., Read on Knowledge, correct data categories).
- Flow permissions (Run Flows or per-flow permissions via flows/specific features if applicable).
This aligns directly with Salesforce’s guidance on securing AI/agent users and system/integration users: create a dedicated user and tighten permissions around exactly what the agent must do.
3️⃣ ❌ “Grant the AI agent user the ‘System Administrator’ profile for maximum compatibility.”
This is incorrect and strongly against best practices.
System Administrator has:
- Modify All Data
- View All Data
- Access to nearly every setup and data area.
For an AI agent serving unauthenticated sessions, this creates a huge security risk:
- The agent could access or modify far more data than intended (all Accounts, Contacts, Cases, etc.).
- Any mis-prompting or misconfiguration could cause data exposure or mass updates/deletes.
Salesforce security & exam guidance always stress least privilege, especially for:
- API/integration users.
- Automated/AI users.
So even though “System Administrator” may “just work,” it is not allowable as a correct answer in the exam context.
Final exam-style answer
Correct choice:
Use the "New Agent User" option and apply the principle of least privilege to grant only specific permissions required for Case, Knowledge, and Flow access.
This ensures:
- Agent can access/update Case records.
- Agent can retrieve Knowledge articles.
- Agent can run necessary flows.
- Security is preserved by not over-permissioning the AI agent user.
Universal Healthcare aims to implement Agentforce Service Agent to assist patients' common inquiries and
provide medication summaries. It should handle sensitive tasks such as confirming patient identity via email
or phone before retrieving medical history.
How should the Service Cloud Consultant approach the Agentforce Service Agent's action configuration?
A. Employ standard topics and actions for general inquiries, and create custom topics and actions using Apex, Flow, or Prompt Builder for sensitive tasks.
B. Implement only custom actions for all patient interactions to ensure complete control over data privacy and security from the outset.
C. Utilize standard actions for all tasks, as they are pre-configured to handle sensitive data securely without additional setup and are industry best practices.
Explanation:
Why Option A is the Correct and Recommended Solution
Agentforce Service Agent is designed with a hybrid model that maximizes out-of-the-box efficiency for non-sensitive interactions while mandating customization for high-risk scenarios like identity verification and accessing protected health information (PHI) in healthcare. Standard topics (e.g., "General Inquiry" or "Policy Questions") and actions (e.g., Knowledge lookups or basic case creation) are pre-built for common, low-risk tasks such as providing medication summaries or answering routine patient questions, enabling quick deployment without compromising speed. For sensitive tasks—such as confirming identity via email/phone before retrieving medical history—the consultant should build custom topics and actions using Flows (for authentication workflows), Apex (for secure data queries), or Prompt Builder (for guarded prompts that enforce compliance checks). This ensures HIPAA-aligned controls like attribute-based access (e.g., "no PHI access without verified identity"), least-privilege permissions, and audit trails, while grounding responses in the Einstein Trust Layer. This approach aligns with Salesforce's best practices for regulated industries, balancing rapid value delivery for public-facing inquiries with robust security for private actions, ultimately supporting Universal Healthcare's goals of engagement and compliance.
Why Option B is Incorrect
Implementing only custom actions for all patient interactions, even general ones, over-engineers the solution and contradicts Salesforce's guidance to leverage standard topics/actions for public, non-sensitive tasks. This would inflate development time, increase costs, and delay rollout without adding proportional security benefits, as standard components already inherit org-level protections (e.g., Einstein Trust Layer for HIPAA). Custom-only builds are reserved for uniquely complex or high-risk flows, not blanket use, and could lead to inconsistent agent performance or unnecessary maintenance.
Why Option C is Incorrect
Standard actions are not pre-configured to universally handle sensitive data securely without setup; Salesforce explicitly advises against using them for private tasks like identity-gated medical history access due to risks of unintended exposure or non-compliance. While Agentforce supports HIPAA through foundational tools (e.g., Shield Encryption, FHIR APIs), standard actions lack built-in identity verification or PHI-specific guardrails, requiring custom configurations for such scenarios. Relying solely on standards ignores healthcare-specific needs and could violate regulations, as noted in official warnings about further configuration for private actions.

Universal Containers (UC) wants to implement Service Cloud using Agile methodology.
What should the Service Cloud Consultant recommend to deliver a successful implementation?
A. Generate all of the requirements with UC executives, and then develop the project schedule.
B. Generate all of the project requirements from the project team and executives at once, and then deliver a complete solution.
C. Generate continuous feedback from the project team, and adjust the requirements and deliverables accordingly.
Explanation:
✔ Why C is correct
Agile methodology emphasizes:
- Iterative development
- Continuous feedback
- Regular refinement of requirements
- Incremental delivery of value
A successful Service Cloud Agile implementation should include:
- Ongoing input from stakeholders
- Sprint reviews and demos
- Adjusting priorities as business needs evolve
- Delivering functionality in small, testable increments
This aligns exactly with option C.
❌ Why A is incorrect
“Generate all of the requirements with UC executives and then develop the project schedule.”
This describes a waterfall approach:
- Gather all requirements up front
- Create a fixed schedule
- Little flexibility for change
This goes against Agile principles of iterative, adaptive planning.
❌ Why B is incorrect
“Generate all of the project requirements… and then deliver a complete solution.”
This is also waterfall:
- Big upfront requirements definition
- Big-bang delivery
- No iterative learning or stakeholder feedback
Agile avoids “deliver everything at once” in favor of deliver early, deliver often.
✅ Final Answer
C. Generate continuous feedback from the project team, and adjust the requirements and deliverables accordingly.
This is the Agile-aligned approach that leads to a successful Service Cloud implementation.
