201 · Question #29

You have created a custom profile named TEST2. The parent profile of TEST2 is named TEST1. If additional changes are made to TEST1, what is the effect on TEST2.

The correct answer is B. Some of the changes to TEST1 may propagate to TEST2. When a child profile inherits settings from a parent profile, some but not all changes made to the parent profile will propagate to the child, specifically those settings that have not been explicitly overridden.

Question

You have created a custom profile named TEST2. The parent profile of TEST2 is named TEST1. If additional changes are made to TEST1, what is the effect on TEST2.

  • AAll changes to TEST1 are propagated to TEST2.
  • BSome of the changes to TEST1 may propagate to TEST2.
  • CChanges to TEST1 cannot affect TEST2 once TEST2 is saved.
  • DWhen TEST1 is changed, the administrator is prompted and can choose whether to propagate changes

Why each option

When a child profile inherits settings from a parent profile, some but not all changes made to the parent profile will propagate to the child, specifically those settings that have not been explicitly overridden.

AAll changes to TEST1 are propagated to TEST2.

Not all changes propagate; only those settings that have not been explicitly customized or overridden in the child profile will inherit changes from the parent.

BSome of the changes to TEST1 may propagate to TEST2.Correct

Child profiles inherit settings from their parent profiles. If a specific setting is changed in the parent profile (TEST1) and that setting has not been explicitly overridden or customized in the child profile (TEST2), then the change from the parent will propagate to the child. However, if a setting has been explicitly overridden in TEST2, changes to that specific setting in TEST1 will not propagate to TEST2.

CChanges to TEST1 cannot affect TEST2 once TEST2 is saved.

Changes to the parent profile can certainly affect the child profile, especially for settings that the child profile still inherits.

DWhen TEST1 is changed, the administrator is prompted and can choose whether to propagate changes

Profile inheritance is typically an automatic process for non-overridden settings; there isn't usually an administrator prompt to choose propagation for individual changes.
