Sales-Con-201 Practice Question: Practical Application OF Sales Cloud Expertise
A consulting firm uses Opportunity Teams to collaborate on complex enterprise deals. A team member with 'Read/Write' access to the Opportunity needs to update the Opportunity's custom 'Implementation Status' field, but cannot edit any standard opportunity fields. How should the administrator configure this requirement?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Recognize that standard Opportunity Team access grants uniform access to the object record according to the assigned team role, and granular field-level restriction requires a different architectural approach (such as Custom Sharing or Validation Rules).
Standard Opportunity Team roles grant either Read/Write or Read-Only access to the entire opportunity record, not field-level restrictions.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Recognize that standard Opportunity Team access grants uniform access to the object record according to the assigned team role, and granular field-level restriction requires a different architectural approach (such as Custom Sharing or Validation Rules).
Why this is correct
Standard Salesforce record sharing and teams grant access at the record level. To restrict editing of specific standard fields while allowing custom field edits, standard team roles are insufficient because record access is all-or-nothing per role.
- ✗
Create a custom profile for the user that restricts standard field editing, combined with Opportunity Team Read/Write access.
Why it's wrong here
A custom profile would restrict fields globally, which may not be desired for other opportunities where they are the owner.
- ✗
Configure Field-Level Security (FLS) on standard opportunity fields to make them read-only for that user profile, while granting Read/Write via Opportunity Team.
Why it's wrong here
Opportunity Team access applies to the entire record, overriding or operating alongside sharing rules; FLS applies globally to profiles/permission sets.
- ✗
Use Opportunity Sharing Rules to grant field-specific permissions to the team member.
Why it's wrong here
Sharing rules grant record-level access (Read/Write or Read-Only), not field-level permissions.
