ADM-201 Question #8: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Supervisors at Universal Containers have read access to Contacts through their profiles. Sales reps have a separate profile that allows them to edit Contacts. Some sales reps are attending a conference for a week and supervisors will need to fill in to update Contact details while they are out. How should an administrator grant proper access to the supervisors?

Options

• AAssign a permission set with the edit permission on Contact to the supervisors that need it.
• BUpdate the supervisor profile with edit permission on Contact.
• CCreate a sharing rule to grant read/write access on Contact to the supervisor role.
• DChange the supervisor users profiles to be sales rep.

Explanation

To grant temporary edit access to Contact records for specific supervisors while sales reps are away, an administrator should assign a permission set containing the 'Edit' permission for the Contact object to those supervisors.

Common mistakes.

• B. Updating the supervisor profile would grant 'Edit' access to all users assigned to that profile permanently, which is not ideal for a temporary need for specific individuals.
• C. Sharing rules grant access to specific records based on ownership or criteria, but they cannot grant object-level Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) permissions if the user's profile or permission set does not already allow it.
• D. Changing a supervisor's profile to a sales rep profile would grant them all sales rep permissions, which is overly broad and disruptive for a temporary, specific access requirement.
