Salesforce ANC-201 Exam - Topic 7 Question 61 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's ANC-201 exam

Question #: 61
Topic #: 7

CRM Analytics consultant receives a new project from a client that wants to implement CRM Analytics. They do not currently have CRM Analytics but want guidance on how to ensure their users have the correct access.

They have 1,000 users with a small team of three people who will build both datasets and dashboards. An additional 15 people should be able to only create dashboards. The remaining users should only be able to view dashboards.

Which recommendation should the consultant give the client?

AAssign the app permissions 'viewer', 'editor', and 'manager' to the three types of roles defined.

BCreate and assign three new Salesforce profiles according to the three types of roles defined.

CCreate and assign Salesforce permission sets according to the three types of roles defined.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

For a client implementing CRM Analytics with a variety of user roles, creating and assigning Salesforce permission sets is the most flexible and scalable solution. Here's why:

Flexibility and Customization: Permission sets allow for specific access rights to be compiled and assigned based on user roles without altering their existing profiles.

Scalability: As the organization grows or roles change, permission sets can be easily adjusted or reassigned to accommodate new requirements or users.

Simplified Management: Managing access via permission sets simplifies the administration of user rights, making it easier to ensure that each group has the appropriate level of access.

Definitely not A, that sounds too generic for such a large user base.

Wait, can you really manage that many users with just three profiles?

I think permission sets (Option C) offer more flexibility in the long run.

I’m a bit confused about whether to create new profiles or just use permission sets. I hope we can clarify that in the exam.

I vaguely recall that profiles are more rigid compared to permission sets. Maybe we should consider flexibility for the different user types?

I think we practiced a similar question where we assigned permissions based on user roles. I feel like permission sets might be the way to go here.

I remember we discussed the importance of user roles in CRM Analytics, but I'm not sure if we should use profiles or permission sets for this scenario.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. The question mentions "app permissions" which makes me think option A might be the way to go, but I'm not 100% sure how those map to the Salesforce profiles and permission sets. I'll have to double-check the documentation on that.

This seems straightforward enough. I'd recommend going with option B and creating new Salesforce profiles for each of the three user types. That should give us the granular control we need to ensure the right access levels.

Okay, let me think this through. We have three types of users - dataset/dashboard builders, dashboard creators, and dashboard viewers. I'm pretty sure we'll need to create custom profiles or permission sets to handle this. I'll have to review the options carefully.

Hmm, this looks like a classic CRM Analytics access control question. I think I'll go with option C and recommend using Salesforce permission sets to assign the appropriate access levels.

B) Profiles are the way to go. You can't go wrong with the good old Salesforce approach. It's like building a house with sturdy foundations, you know? *nods sagely*

C) Definitely go with the permission sets. That way, you can easily add or modify access without having to mess with the profiles. Plus, it's more 'hacker-proof' than just using app permissions. *winks*
