Question

Difficulty: HardOpportunity Teams and Team Selling Access

An organization maintains Private Organization-Wide Defaults (OWD) for both Account and Opportunity objects. A sales representative adds their Default Opportunity Team to a newly created opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional team members. Which two sharing behaviors and access outcomes occur as a result of this action?

  1. Team members receive the specific Opportunity access level (Read Only or Read/Write) designated in the opportunity team configuration.Answer
  2. Team members are automatically granted implicit Read Only access to the parent Account record if they do not already have access to it.Answer
  3. C
    The Organization-Wide Default sharing setting for the parent Account automatically converts to Public Read-Only for all users in the organization.
  4. D
    Team members automatically receive custom Permission Sets granting object-level Read and Edit access to all custom objects related to the Account.
  5. E
    The opportunity owner's user profile must be updated with the Modify All Data permission for Opportunity Team access rules to take effect.

Answer

Adding team members to an Opportunity Team grants those members the specified Opportunity access level (Read Only or Read/Write) and automatically grants them implicit Read Only access to the parent Account record.
When adding users to an Opportunity Team, each user receives the designated access level (Read Only or Read/Write) for that opportunity. Additionally, Salesforce implicit sharing automatically grants team members Read Only access to the associated parent Account record so they can view essential context.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze Opportunity Team access rules
Opportunity Team member access is configured on a per-user basis, allowing Read Only or Read/Write record-level access to the opportunity.
Opportunity Teams provide granular record sharing flexibility when OWD is Private.
2
Analyze built-in Salesforce implicit sharing rules
When a user is granted access to an opportunity via an Opportunity Team, Salesforce automatically grants implicit Read Only access to the parent Account.
Users collaborating on an opportunity require baseline context from the parent Account record.
