[All Plat-Admn-301 Questions]

A custom object called Item has a many-to-many relationship with the Account and Quota objects. At Cloud Kicks, account owners are changed frequently while ownership of Quota records remains unchanged. When an account owner is updated, the new account owner can only see Item records if they are also the owner of the Quota record.

What step should the administrator take to give access to all Item records?

Change the data format of the Quota relationship field from master-detail to lookup.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Giving the account owner Read access to both the Account and the Quota objects will give access to all Item records. Since Item is a junction object between Account and Quota, users need to have at least Read access to both parent objects to see Item records. If users have access to only one parent object, they will not be able to see Item records related to the other parent object.

I disagree, the sharing rule could work too, but it’s more complex.

Wait, can you really change master-detail to lookup? Seems risky.

I'd go with C. Criteria-based sharing rules are a neat way to handle this kind of scenario.

I remember something about master-detail relationships and how they control access, but I'm not sure if changing it to a lookup is the right move here.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The relationship between the objects is tricky, and I'm not sure if changing the data format of the Quota relationship field is the right approach. I think I'll need to re-read the question and think it through a bit more.

I'm leaning towards option D. If we give the account owner Read access to both the Account and Quota objects, that should solve the problem and give them visibility into the Item records.

Okay, I'm thinking option C might be the way to go. If we create a criteria-based sharing rule using ISCHANGED for the Account Owner field, that should give the new account owner access to the Item records through the Quota records.

Hmm, I think the key here is that the Quota records are not changing ownership, but the Account records are. So we need to find a way to give the account owner access to the Quota records as well.
