Question
Universal Containers has two sales teams, sales team A and sales team B. Each team has their own role in the role hierarchy. Both roles are subordinates of the same Manager role. How should a Platform Administrator share records owned by sales team A with sales team B?
Options
- ACriteria-based sharing
- BOwner-based sharing
- CHierarchical sharing
- DManual sharing
Explanation
Owner-based sharing (criteria-based sharing rules that target a specific owner group) is correct because it lets an admin automatically share all records owned by members of Sales Team A's role with Sales Team B's role - this is precisely what "owner-based sharing rules" are designed for in Salesforce.
- A (Criteria-based sharing) is wrong because criteria-based rules share records based on field values on the record (e.g., "Region = West"), not based on who owns the record.
- C (Hierarchical sharing) is wrong because role hierarchy sharing flows upward - managers see subordinates' records automatically - but it doesn't share laterally between sibling roles like Team A and Team B.
- D (Manual sharing) is wrong because it's a one-off, record-by-record action performed by users or admins, not a scalable automated solution for an entire team's records.
Memory tip: Think "Owner-based = share by WHO owns it, Criteria-based = share by WHAT's on it." When the question involves sharing all records belonging to one team/role with another, the trigger word "owned by" points straight to owner-based sharing rules.
