Salesforce Sharing and Visibility Certification Practice Exam

The option to remove the "Export Reports" profile permission effectively restricts users' ability to export reports. In Salesforce, profile permissions govern the actions users can take, including whether they have access to specific functionalities like exporting reports. By removing this permission from a user’s profile, you ensure that they will no longer be able to use the export feature for reports, thereby meeting the requirement to restrict access.

While the other options may seem like they could achieve similar goals, they do not provide a direct way to control export capabilities across users consistently. For instance, removing the "Report Manager" permission might limit the ability to manage reports, but it does not necessarily prevent users from exporting data if they have the proper permissions elsewhere. Modifying the report page layout to remove the Export button would only affect the interface, potentially leaving other export methods available. Lastly, adjusting the report folder settings to disallow exports applies only to users who access reports within that folder and would not universally restrict all users' export capabilities.

Therefore, the most effective means to control access at a broader level is by adjusting profile permissions, making the removal of the "Export Reports" profile permission the most straightforward and encompassing option.
