Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect Universal Practice Questions
The free Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect questions that deal with universal, with answers and explanations. The full bank and the timed practice test cover every topic the exam asks about.
Question #1
Users at Universal Containers are complaining that a field has disappeared from the Account page after last weekend's deployment. The page layout did not change with this deployment. How should the admin troubleshoot this issue?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
If a field disappears from the Account page, the likely cause is that its visibility has been restricted through Field-Level Security (FLS) or a related profile/permission set update. Using Field Accessibility in Object Manager allows the admin to review and troubleshoot field permissions across profiles. • Option A: A "Who Sees What" report is used for record visibility, not field visibility. • Option B: Logging in as a user might help confirm the issue but doesn't provide insights into why the field is missing. • Option C (Correct): Field Accessibility offers a comprehensive view of field-level security for troubleshooting.

Question #2
Universal Containers (UC) operates worldwide, with offices in more than 100 regions in 10 different countries, and has established a very complex Role Hierarchy to control data visibility. In the new fiscal year, UC is planning to reorganize the roles and reassign account owners. Which feature should an architect recommend to avoid problems with this operation?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When performing large-scale changes, such as reorganizing roles or reassigning ownership, recalculating sharing rules can be resource-intensive and may affect performance. Deferred Sharing Recalculation allows Salesforce admins to temporarily pause sharing rule calculations during bulk operations. This ensures that the reorganization completes efficiently, and the sharing recalculations are processed after the changes are made. • Option A: Partitioning data using Divisions helps segment data logically but does not address the specific need to optimize sharing recalculations. • Option B: Skinny tables improve query performance for specific data structures but do not mitigate recalculation delays. • Option C (Correct): Deferred Sharing Recalculation ensures minimal performance impact during bulk ownership changes or Role Hierarchy updates.

Question #3
Universal Containers implemented Sales Cloud and requested that only certain branch staff trained to sell high-risk products can create opportunities for high-risk products. How should an architect allow only specific branch staff to sell high-risk products?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To ensure only specific branch staff can create opportunities for high-risk products, set the Price Book OWD to View Only to limit access. Then, use a sharing rule to share the high- risk price book with the trained staff. This approach ensures: • Untrained users cannot see or use the price book. • Trained staff have explicit access through the sharing rule. • Option A: Manual sharing is inefficient for a large group and less manageable than sharing rules. • Option C: While technically correct, sharing rule implementation is clearer and more scalable for this use case.

Question #4
A support representative at Universal Containers created a report to view all her open cases that have been created in the past 7 days and saved the report in the "Private Reports" folder. Who can view and run the report?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
• Reports saved in the Private Reports folder are only accessible to the user who created them. This folder is meant for personal use, and other users cannot access or view reports saved here, regardless of their permissions. • Why Option A is Correct: Only the report owner can view and run reports saved in the "Private Reports" folder. • Why Others Are Incorrect: For further details, refer to Salesforce Report and Dashboard Sharing documentation: https://help.salesforce.com/
Question #5
Universal Containers (UC) requested that branch managers and UC branch staff should only see customers and related information in their geographic location. Which options should be used together to achieve the requirements?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
• Role Hierarchy and Sharing Rules: • Why Option A is Correct: • Why Others Are Incorrect: For more details, refer to Salesforce documentation on Role Hierarchies and Sharing Rules: https://help.salesforce.com/
Question #8
Universal Containers (UC) has a custom object to track the internal net promoter score (NPS) for all of its employees. The manager is in the role above the owner and there are no sharing rules on the object. How should UC ensure that NPS records cannot be accessed by the owner's manager?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
For custom objects, Salesforce allows disabling the Access Using Hierarchies option. By setting the Organization-Wide Default (OWD) to Private and unchecking Access Using Hierarchies, you ensure that records are only accessible to the owner and explicitly granted users. This prevents the owner's manager or anyone higher in the role hierarchy from automatically gaining access. • Option A: Removing CRUD permissions from profiles would block all access to the object for managers, which may not align with business requirements. • Option B: Apex sharing is unnecessary when the problem can be solved declaratively by adjusting the OWD and hierarchy settings. • Option C (Correct): Setting OWD to Private and disabling Access Using Hierarchies is the most straightforward solution for restricting access to managers.

Question #10
At Universal Containers, there's a team of auditors distributed throughout the organization that all need access to high-value opportunities. With a Private sharing model, which option should an architect recommend when designing a solution for this requirement?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
With a private sharing model, a criteria-based sharing rule is the most effective way to grant auditors access to specific records like high-value opportunities. Criteria-based sharing rules allow records to be shared with a public group based on defined criteria (e.g., Opportunity Amount > $50,000). • Option A (Correct): Sharing rules are scalable and do not require reconfiguration of the Role Hierarchy or default Opportunity Teams. • Option B: Adding auditors to the default Opportunity Team is inefficient and impractical, as it applies to specific opportunities manually, not automatically for high- value opportunities. • Option C: Placing auditors at the highest level of the Role Hierarchy grants them excessive access to all opportunities, not just high-value ones, violating the principle of least privilege.
