QuestionQ240

Security and Access

Using the following hierarchy, if a sharing rule grants Operations Person Read/Write access to Sales Management on the Account object, what access does Operations Management have to Sales Management’s accounts?

The default access for the Account object is Public Read Only.

  • Executive Management
  • Sales Management
  • Sales Person
  • Operations Management
  • Operations Person
  • A None
  • B Read Only
  • C Read/Write
  • D Read/Write/Transfer
Explanation

A role higher in the hierarchy can access records owned by or shared with users below it. Because Operations Person is granted Read/Write access and Operations Management is above that role, Operations Management also has Read/Write access. Public Read Only supplies baseline read access, while the sharing rule elevates the access level to Read/Write; it does not grant transfer permission.
