- CModify the organization's standard profiles to grant custom object permissions for the managed package to all account executives.
- DDeactivate the target account executives' existing user records and create new user records assigned to a specialized AppExchange profile.
Answer
Assign the permission set included with the AppExchange package directly to the designated account executives.
AppExchange managed packages generally come with pre-built permission sets that grant the necessary permissions for the package's objects, components, and apex classes. Assigning these permission sets directly to specific users across different departments provides the needed access cleanly without creating additional profiles or modifying existing baseline profiles.
