Difficulty: EasyOrganization-Wide Defaults (OWD)

Universal Containers created a custom object named Asset_Inspection__c to track safety audits. Business requirements dictate that all internal employees must be able to view, edit, and report on every Asset_Inspection__c record, regardless of who owns the record. Which Organization-Wide Default (OWD) setting should the administrator select for the Asset_Inspection__c object?

  1. Public Read/WriteAnswer
  2. B
    Private, and assign a Permission Set granting Read and Edit object permissions to all users
  3. C
    Private, and rely on Grant Access Using Hierarchies to propagate record access to all employees
  4. D
    Public Read-Only

Answer

Public Read/Write
Selecting Public Read/Write as the Organization-Wide Default grants all internal users default read and write permissions to all records of the custom object, fulfilling the requirement for universal view and edit access.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the access requirement
All internal users need both Read and Edit access to all records of Asset_Inspection__c regardless of ownership.
Organization-Wide Defaults establish the baseline record-level access for all users in Salesforce.
2
Evaluate the standard OWD setting levels
Public Read/Write provides full access to read and edit all records across the organization without requiring additional sharing rules.
Setting OWD to Public Read/Write directly satisfies the baseline access requirement in the simplest, most maintainable way.
