Salesforce Sharing and Visibility Certification Practice Exam

What must an Architect do to ensure Field-Level Security is enforced on a Visualforce page using the Standard Lead Controller?

1. Use the "With Sharing" keyword on the Standard Lead Controller.

2. Nothing; Field-Level Security will automatically be enforced.

3. Use the {!Schema.sObjectType.Lead.fields.isAccessible()} expression.

4. Use the Schema.SObject.Lead.isAccessible() method.

The correct answer is: Nothing; Field-Level Security will automatically be enforced.

In Salesforce, when using a Visualforce page that employs the Standard Lead Controller, Field-Level Security is automatically enforced by the platform. This means that if a user does not have access to certain fields due to their profile settings, those fields will not be rendered on the Visualforce page or will be displayed as read-only, depending on the user's permissions. This automatic enforcement ensures that sensitive data remains protected and adheres to the defined security model within Salesforce. Therefore, there is no additional action required from the Architect, such as explicitly adding code or keywords to ensure that Field-Level Security is respected. This inherent capability of Salesforce improves data security and simplifies the development process by reducing the need for custom coding to manage field-level visibility directly. The other options imply that additional steps are necessary when in fact the built-in functionality of the Standard Controllers already handles the security considerations effectively.
