Salesforce Sharing and Visibility Certification Practice Exam

If a user has access to the Job but not the Production Facility Object, what happens regarding the junction object?

1. The user will see the junction object but not the link to the Production Facility.

2. The user will see the junction object and the link to the Production Facility.

3. The user will not be able to see the junction object records or the field values.

4. The user will be granted read access to the Production Facility record.

The correct answer is: The user will not be able to see the junction object records or the field values.

The correct response is that the user will not be able to see the junction object records or the field values. Junction objects in Salesforce are used to create many-to-many relationships between two objects. When a user has access to only one of the related objects (in this case, the Job object) and not the other (the Production Facility object), Salesforce enforces its sharing and visibility rules. Since visibility into the junction object records is reliant on access to both parent objects, the lack of access to the Production Facility means that the user cannot access the junction object records as they can't view the details needed to understand the relationship. Thus, even though the user might technically have visibility within the junction object's schema, they will not be able to see any record data because the related Production Facility records are not accessible. This result aligns with Salesforce's security model that ensures users can only interact with records for which they have full access rights on all related objects.
