Three of the 100 questions in this pack

Question 1

Universal Containers uses 75,000 distributors that have close to 1 million total users. Distributors need to use the community to see closing opportunities assigned to their distributor for delivery.

What license recommendation will meet distributor needs?

  1. Customer Community
  2. Customer Community Plus
  3. Sales Cloud
  4. Partner Community
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Partner Community

Distributors need to work with opportunities, and among the Experience Cloud licenses only Partner Community gives external users access to the Opportunity object, along with leads and campaigns. Partner users also get partner roles within their partner account, so users at a distributor can see the opportunities assigned to that distributor while other distributors stay separated. This makes Partner Community the license that meets the requirement for the distributors' external users.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Customer Community licenses do not include access to opportunities.
  • B. Customer Community Plus licenses do not include access to opportunities.
  • C. Sales Cloud is an internal user license and is not meant for external distributor users of a site.

Question 2

What advanced tool can Salesforce enable for large-scale role hierarchy realignments?

  1. Set external organization-wide default to public read only
  2. Granular locking
  3. Partitioning by Divisions
  4. Skinny Table Indexing
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Granular locking

Changes to the role hierarchy and group membership update the tables that store group membership and sharing data, and without granular locking the system locks broadly while those updates run. Granular locking locks only the portions of the data affected by each operation, so several role hierarchy and group changes can be processed at the same time with far fewer lock contention errors. That makes it the tool for large-scale role hierarchy realignments.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. The external organization-wide default sets external users' baseline access and does nothing for role realignment processing.
  • C. Divisions partition data for search and reporting and do not speed up role hierarchy changes.
  • D. Skinny tables speed up queries on large objects and do not help with role hierarchy realignments.

Question 3

By default, how many roles are created when the first external user is created on a partner account?

  1. 3
  2. 2
  3. 1
  4. 0
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. 1

When the first external user on a partner account is enabled, Salesforce creates the partner roles for that account according to the number of partner roles configured in the Digital Experiences settings. That setting is one by default, so one role is created for the account. An administrator can raise the setting to as many as three roles, such as Executive, Manager and User, but keeping the number low avoids unused roles and keeps sharing calculations lighter.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Three roles are created only when the number of partner roles setting has been increased to three.
  • B. Two roles are created only when the number of partner roles setting has been changed to two.
  • D. Enabling the first partner user always creates at least one role for the account.

What makes the Sharing and Visibility Architect hard

Access to Records is the biggest section at 39%. Org-wide defaults, the role hierarchy, sharing rules, teams, territories and implicit sharing decide who sees which records, and most questions give you a requirement and ask for the least privilege design that meets it.

Permissions to standard objects, custom objects and fields is 27%, implications of security model choice is 18% and access to other data is 16%. 60 scored questions in 120 minutes, with a 58% pass mark. The traps are answers that grant access correctly but open more than the scenario allows.

About the exam

The Salesforce Certified Platform Sharing and Visibility Architect credential is for architects who design scalable, high performing solutions on the Salesforce Platform that meet sharing and visibility security requirements. Exam code Plat-Arch-205.
