SF-Admin Configuration and Setup Practice Question
Cloud Kicks' administrator needs to grant a new marketing user the ability to import Leads using the Data Import Wizard and to view and edit all Leads regardless of ownership. Which two settings should the administrator configure to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is thinking that Modify All Data is needed for broad access, but it is excessive; View All and Edit All are sufficient.
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
✓
Assign a permission set with the 'View All Leads' and 'Edit All Leads' permissions.
The correct settings are to assign the 'Import Leads' permission and the 'View All Leads' and 'Edit All Leads' permissions via permission sets. These grant the specific abilities needed without over-permissioning. Modify All Data is too broad. Public Read/Write affects all users. Sharing rules are less direct and may not cover all records.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set the organization-wide default for Leads to Public Read/Write.
Why it's wrong here
Public Read/Write allows all users to view and edit all Leads, but it also grants that access to everyone, which may not be desired. The requirement is for a specific user to have this access, not all users. This setting is too broad.
- ✓
Assign a permission set with the 'View All Leads' and 'Edit All Leads' permissions.
Why this is correct
The 'View All Leads' and 'Edit All Leads' permissions grant the user access to all Leads regardless of ownership. This meets the requirement without affecting other users. These permissions can be bundled in a permission set.
- ✗
Create a sharing rule to share all Leads with the marketing user.
Why it's wrong here
A sharing rule can share records with a user, but it is not the most efficient way to grant access to all Leads. Sharing rules are typically used for groups or roles, and they may not cover all records if criteria are used. The 'View All' and 'Edit All' permissions are more direct.
- ✓
Assign a permission set with the 'Import Leads' permission.
Why this is correct
The 'Import Leads' permission allows users to use the Data Import Wizard to import Leads. This is a specific user permission that must be granted. Without it, the user cannot import Leads even if they have other access.
- ✗
Assign a permission set with the 'Modify All Data' permission.
Why it's wrong here
Modify All Data grants broad access to all data and is excessive for this requirement. It also does not specifically grant the ability to import Leads. This permission is typically reserved for administrators and violates least privilege.
