PLAT-ADMN-201 Question #128: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A Platform Administrator for Cloud Kicks needs to ensure that only the financial records belonging to each individual user are visible on the report in order to meet scope of the data privacy requirements. How should the administrator achieve this?

Options

• ASet sharing model as Public Read/Write for the respective object(s).
• BSet sharing model as Private for the respective object(s).
• CCreate multiple reports, each filtered to show records owned by each user.
• DUse Apex sharing to hide records.

Explanation

Setting the OWD (Organization-Wide Default) to Private for the financial object means each record is only visible to its owner and those above them in the role hierarchy by default. This ensures users see only their own records on reports - satisfying the data privacy requirement without any additional custom logic. Public Read/Write (A) would expose all records to all users - the opposite of the requirement. Creating multiple filtered reports per user (C) is unscalable and hard to maintain. Apex sharing (D) is a developer solution that adds sharing, not restricts it, and is unnecessary when OWD Private already achieves the goal.
