ADM-201 · Question #89

The administrator has created new users for 10 new employees at Universal Containers. Why are these users unable to access the account object in the Salesforce org"?

The correct answer is A. Users' profile requires permission to the account object. New users are unable to access the Account object because their assigned user profile lacks the necessary object permissions.

Why each option

New users are unable to access the Account object because their assigned user profile lacks the necessary object permissions.

AUsers' profile requires permission to the account object.Correct

Object-level access in Salesforce is primarily controlled by a user's profile and permission sets. If a user's profile does not grant 'Read' or 'Edit' permission to the Account object, they will not be able to see or interact with Account records.

BUsers' profile requires a sharing rule for accounts.

Sharing rules control record-level access for users who already have object access; they don't grant object access itself.

CUsers' roles are low on the Role hierarchy.

Roles in the Role Hierarchy control record-level access through sharing, not object-level access.

DOrganization-wide defaults are set to private.

Organization-Wide Defaults (OWD) set the baseline record-level access but do not prevent users from seeing the object itself if their profile has permission.
