Salesforce Sharing and Visibility Certification Practice Exam

Which two options can an Architect use to make a List View of Opportunities visible to certain user groups?

1. Public Groups

2. Profiles

3. Roles and Subordinates

4. Manual Sharing

The correct answer is: Public Groups

An Architect can use Public Groups to make a List View of Opportunities visible to specific user groups because Public Groups allow for the sharing of records among multiple users and can be structured based on various criteria. By creating a Public Group that includes the desired users, the Architect can easily manage visibility and permissions related to the List View. This means you can effectively target specific users without needing to modify individual user settings, thus enhancing collaboration and data access for those users who require visibility into the Opportunities. Profiles, on the other hand, are more about defining a user's permissions at a broader level rather than managing List Views. They dictate what users can do in the application but do not directly control visibility of specific List Views. Roles and Subordinates establish a hierarchy within the organization and allow visibility based on that structure, but they are not the most efficient means of sharing only List Views, as they focus on record-level visibility, not necessarily on List View access. Manual Sharing provides visibility to individual records based on user needs but is not an efficient or scalable solution for sharing access to List Views among user groups. Thus, Public Groups stand out as the optimal choice for managing visibility of List Views for certain user groups.
