[All Salesforce Certified Platform Data Architect (Plat-Arch-201) Questions]

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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

Wait, can implicit sharing really handle this? Seems too simple.

Owner-based sharing rules won't work here, right?

I recall that owner-based sharing rules are typically for sharing records based on ownership, so option D might not fit this requirement either.

I practiced a similar question where account teams were involved, but I’m not convinced that option C is the right approach for read-only access.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like implicit sharing might not cover this scenario since it’s about child-parent relationships.

I think I remember something about criteria-based sharing rules being used for specific conditions, so maybe option A could work here?

I feel pretty confident about this one. A criteria-based sharing rule is definitely the way to go. I'll need to make sure I set up the criteria correctly to link the account and opportunity objects, but I've done this kind of thing before, so I think I can handle it.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if implicit sharing will handle it automatically, and adding users to the account team seems like it might be too manual. I think a criteria-based sharing rule is probably the best approach, but I'll need to review the details to make sure I implement it properly.

Okay, let me think this through. Since we want users to have read-only access to the account record based on their access to the child opportunity, a criteria-based sharing rule seems like the way to go. I'll need to make sure I set up the criteria correctly to link the two objects.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we can use sharing rules to control access, but I'm not sure if criteria-based is the right approach here. I'll need to double-check the options and make sure I understand the requirements fully.

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.

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.
