A support administrator at a financial technology firm needs to enable flexible collaboration on high-priority customer cases. The Organization-Wide Default (OWD) for Case is configured as Private. A temporary group of compliance officers and senior product specialists must be granted Read/Write access on an ad-hoc, per-case basis without changing ownership of the case or modifying the global role hierarchy. Additionally, members added to the case must receive email alerts when assigned. Which configuration should the Salesforce administrator implement to satisfy these requirements?
- Configure Case Team Roles with Read/Write access, set up Predefined Case Teams, and add the Case Teams related list to the Case page layout.Answer
- BCreate a new Profile for compliance officers and senior specialists that grants the 'Modify All' object permission on Cases.
- CSet up a Case Escalation Rule that automatically reassigns case ownership to a shared Public Group containing the specialists.
- DEnable Chatter Feed Tracking on the Case object and configure Grant Access Using Hierarchies to extend record sharing.
Answer
Configure Case Team Roles with Read/Write access, set up Predefined Case Teams, and add the Case Teams related list to the Case page layout.
Case Teams enable administrators and users to grant record-level access (Read Only or Read/Write) to specific users or predefined groups for individual case records. This satisfies the requirement of ad-hoc collaboration when Organization-Wide Defaults are set to Private, while keeping the original case ownership intact.
