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
✓
A saved search's permissions can be set to 'global' so that any user can run it.
Options A and D are correct. A saved search's permissions can be set to 'global' so any user can run it. When a saved search is scheduled, it runs with the permissions of the owner, not the user who views it. Option B is wrong because scheduling a saved search requires the 'schedule_search' capability, which not all users have. Option C is wrong because saved searches inherit permissions from the user who created them, not the app's default. Option E is wrong because saved searches are private to the owner by default.
