Internal audit director could also play a key role in this situation.

Wait, why would application users be accountable? That seems off.

I think application users should have some responsibility, but I doubt they would be the best choice for overall accountability in this scenario.

This question feels similar to one we practiced about accountability in IT governance. I think the board of directors might have the final say, but I’m not entirely confident.

I remember we discussed the role of the CIO in governance controls, but I'm not sure if they should be solely accountable.

I feel like the internal audit director would be a good choice since they oversee compliance, but I wonder if the CIO has more direct control over IT governance.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking about item types that can be inserted by authors, but they have to be defined by developers first. I'm not entirely sure which of these options fits that description best. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Okay, I think I've got this. Sharing rules and permission set groups are the two features that would allow extending record access beyond the organization-wide defaults. I'll select those.
