PLAT-ADMN-201 Question #61: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

The sales reps at Cloud Kicks should be able to report on each other's account and opportunity records with the organization-wide default for Account and Opportunity both set to Private. What should a Platform Administrator do to achieve this?

Options

• ACreate an owner-based sharing rule for Accounts with sharing between a Public Group of Sales
• BCreate an Account and Opportunity report to show any owned by each member of the Sales
• CUtilize Apex sharing to programmatically share records between a group of Sales Rep users.
• DCreate manual sharing to share specific account and opportunity records between the sales reps.

Explanation

With organization-wide defaults set to Private, users can only see records they own. An owner-based sharing rule extends read (or read/write) access to all members of a Public Group of Sales Reps for both Accounts and Opportunities, allowing them to report on each other's records. This is the correct declarative, scalable approach. Manual sharing (D) is record-by-record and doesn't scale across a team. Apex sharing (C) requires custom development and is unnecessary here. Creating a report (B) does not grant the underlying record access needed to include other users' records in that report.
