Difficulty: EasyDashboard Running User and Visibility Settings

An administrator is configuring dashboard visibility and security settings for a sales team. Which two statements correctly describe how running user settings affect dashboard data visibility? (Select 2 answers)

  1. A dynamic dashboard displays data according to the security and record access permissions of the logged-in viewer.Answer
  2. Users viewing a dynamic dashboard cannot access underlying individual records that their sharing rules restrict.Answer
  3. C
    Viewing a dynamic dashboard temporarily elevates a user's permissions to view all underlying records in the organization.
  4. D
    Setting a static running user permanently changes the Organization-Wide Defaults for all objects included in the source reports.
  5. E
    Dynamic dashboards override object-level security permissions to display confidential fields to all dashboard viewers.

Answer

The correct statements are that a dynamic dashboard displays data according to the security and record access permissions of the logged-in viewer, and users viewing a dynamic dashboard cannot access underlying individual records that their sharing rules restrict.
Dynamic dashboards calculate and present metrics based on the logged-in user's own security context. Users only see data they have permission to access, and viewing a dashboard component never grants access to drill down into records that are restricted by sharing rules or Organization-Wide Defaults.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate how dynamic dashboard running user settings control data display.
Identify that dynamic dashboards show metrics customized to the logged-in viewer's security access.
Dynamic dashboards execute using the context of the user currently viewing the dashboard.
2
Determine record access behavior when drilling down from dashboard components.
Confirm that underlying record access remains bounded by existing sharing rules and OWD.
Summarized dashboard metrics do not override or bypass record-level security settings.
