Difficulty: Very hardChatter Groups, Types, and Member Management

An organization is establishing a Chatter group for a confidential project. The administrator must ensure that non-members cannot search for or request to join the group. Furthermore, to minimize feed clutter, standard group members must be able to view and comment on posts, but only the group owner and managers should be permitted to create new posts. Which combination of Chatter group configuration options satisfies all of these security and collaboration requirements?

  1. Create an Unlisted Chatter group and select the Broadcast Only checkbox in the group settings.Answer
  2. B
    Create a Private Chatter group, disable Feed Tracking on the Group object, and assign the Manage Unlisted Groups permission set to standard members.
  3. C
    Create a Private Chatter group, select Broadcast Only, and assign a custom profile with Read-Only Chatter permissions to standard group members.
  4. D
    Create an Unlisted Chatter group and freeze the user accounts of standard group members within the Chatter Group member management subtab.

Answer

Create an Unlisted Chatter group and select the Broadcast Only checkbox in the group settings.
The correct response combines an Unlisted Chatter group with the Broadcast Only setting. Unlisted groups ensure that non-members cannot see posts, search for the group, or request to join. The Broadcast Only setting restricts post creation exclusively to group owners and managers while still allowing members to reply with comments.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze privacy requirement
Identify that the group must be completely hidden from non-members and prohibit request-to-join actions.
Unlisted groups provide complete privacy by hiding the group from search results and member lists for non-members, whereas Private groups are discoverable in search.
2
Analyze communication requirement
Identify the setting that restricts initial post creation to owners and managers while allowing standard members to comment.
The 'Broadcast Only' (or Broadcast) group setting specifically limits post creation rights to Owners and Managers.
3
Combine features
Select the configuration combining Unlisted group access with Broadcast Only setting.
This precise combination satisfies both the strict privacy requirement and the communication feed control requirement.
