Explanation

Setting up group-specific permissions and sharing rules (B) is the correct approach because Workfront's access model is built around granular controls - administrators can define what each group, team, or individual can view, edit, or manage without affecting others. This allows visibility to be tailored per team within a single shared environment.

Why the distractors fail:

• A - Creating separate Workfront instances is operationally expensive, defeats the purpose of a unified platform, and is not how Workfront is architected for multi-team use.
• C - Universal access settings apply the same permissions to everyone, which eliminates the ability to differentiate visibility between teams.
• D - Restricting dashboard creation to admins limits who can build dashboards, not who can see what - it's a creation control, not a visibility management strategy.

Memory tip: Think "group = gate." In Workfront, permissions and sharing rules act as gates that open or close visibility per group, so whenever you see "manage visibility for different teams," the answer involves group-level controls, not instance-level or universal-level settings.
