An organization uses Private Organization-Wide Defaults for Opportunity records and has enabled Team Selling. A sales representative frequently collaborates with a technical specialist on every complex deal. The technical specialist requires Read/Write access to every opportunity created by the sales representative immediately upon record creation. Which configuration should the administrator implement to automate this access requirement?
- Configure a Default Opportunity Team on the sales representative's user settings, add the technical specialist with Read/Write opportunity access, and select the option to automatically add the default team to new opportunities.Answer
- BAssign a permission set containing Modify All access on the Opportunity object to the technical specialist.
- CReposition the technical specialist above the sales representative in the organizational Role Hierarchy so access propagates via Grant Access Using Hierarchies.
- DChange the Organization-Wide Default (OWD) for the Opportunity object from Private to Public Read/Write.
Answer
Configure a Default Opportunity Team on the sales representative's user settings, add the technical specialist with Read/Write opportunity access, and select the option to automatically add the default team to new opportunities.
Configuring a Default Opportunity Team in personal settings with automatic addition enabled ensures that whenever the sales representative creates an opportunity, the technical specialist is granted the designated Read/Write access on that record without changing org-wide defaults or over-granting system permissions.

Key Concept
Default Opportunity Teams in Salesforce allow users who work frequently with the same colleagues to predefine team roles and access rights, which can then automatically attach to newly created opportunities.
