Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The user does not have the 'admin' role.
Why it's wrong here
Users do not need to be admins to see dashboards.
- ✗
The index used in the search is not allowed.
Why it's wrong here
While possible, the most direct cause for a missing dashboard is object-level permissions.
- ✗
The user has too many roles assigned.
Why it's wrong here
Having multiple roles increases permissions, it does not decrease them.
- ✓
The object permissions for the dashboard are not set to 'Global' or the user's role.
Why this is correct
Dashboards require explicit read permissions for the user's role.
