Question #: 58
Topic #: 5

UC is preparing to implement sales cloud and would like to its users to have read only access to an account record if they have access to its child opportunity record. How would a data architect implement this sharing requirement between objects?

ACreate a criteria-based sharing rule.

BImplicit sharing will automatically handle with standard functionality.

CAdd appropriate users to the account team.

DCreate an owner-based sharing rule.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Implicit sharing will automatically handle this sharing requirement with standard functionality, as it grants read-only access to parent accounts when users have access to child opportunities.This is also known as account-opportunity sharing3. Creating a criteria-based sharing rule (option A) or an owner-based sharing rule (option D) is not necessary, as they are used to grant additional access based on record criteria or ownership. Adding appropriate users to the account team (option C) is also not required, as it is used to grant access to specific users or groups for individual accounts.

Option D? Really? Creating an owner-based sharing rule for this scenario sounds like overkill. Let's not make things more complicated than they need to be.

As a data architect, I'd go with option A. Criteria-based sharing rules give you more control and flexibility to handle complex requirements. Plus, it keeps the logic centralized.

Hmm, I'm torn between A and C. Criteria-based sharing rules could be more flexible, but adding users to the account team is simpler. Decisions, decisions...

I believe implicit sharing might handle this automatically, so that could be another option to consider.

Option B sounds like a convenient solution, but I'm not sure if implicit sharing will really handle this requirement. Better to be safe and go with a more explicit approach.
