Question

Difficulty: EasyOrganization-Wide Defaults (OWD)

Universal Containers wants to restrict access to a custom object named Project__c so that record owners and users above them in the role hierarchy can view and edit the records, while all other users have no access to them. Which Organization-Wide Default (OWD) setting should the administrator select for the Project__c object?

  1. PrivateAnswer
  2. B
    Public Read Only
  3. C
    Controlled by Parent
  4. D
    Public Read/Write, with access restricted using Profile settings

Answer

The administrator should set the Organization-Wide Default (OWD) for Project__c to Private.
Setting the Organization-Wide Default (OWD) for the Project__c object to Private ensures that records are hidden by default from users who are neither the record owner nor higher in the role hierarchy.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the security requirement for users who do not own the record and are not in the management chain above the owner.
These users must have no access to the Project__c records.
Organization-Wide Defaults establish the baseline record access for all users in the organization.
2
Select the OWD setting that restricts access completely to non-owners by default.
The Private OWD setting ensures that only the record owner and higher role hierarchy levels inherit access.
Setting OWD to Private provides the most restrictive baseline access upon which broader access can later be granted via sharing rules if necessary.
