Salesforce Sharing and Visibility Certification Practice Exam

What is the outcome of leaving the Reimbursement Object in "Deployed" Status with Private Sharing Setting?

1. All users have access to the records regardless of role

2. Only the record owner and administrators will have access

3. All users will have view access to the records

4. Sharing settings will not apply to any user

The correct answer is: Only the record owner and administrators will have access

Leaving the Reimbursement Object in "Deployed" status with a Private Sharing Setting means that access to the records is restricted. In a Private Sharing Setting, only the record owner and users who have been explicitly granted access can view or manage the records. When the sharing model is set to Private, Salesforce implements strict access controls, ensuring that only the individual who created or owns a record, along with system administrators, can access it by default. This model allows for a higher level of privacy and security, foundational principles for many organizations when managing sensitive or personal data. Therefore, users other than the record owner or administrators will not have any access to those records, which aligns perfectly with the scenario depicted and justifies why the answer focuses on the record owner and administrators having access.
