Below is the answer and explanation for the question in the Salesforce Exams.

If there are any users in the organization that shouldn’t have view access to Account records, the OWD for Accounts should be set to

  • Public Read Only
  • Public Read/Write/Transfer
  • Private ✅
  • None of the above

Correct Answers

Private ✅

Explanation

For user records, you can set the organization-wide sharing default to Private or Public Read Only. The default must be set to Private if there is at least one user who shouldn’t see a record.
Let’s say that your organization has internal users (employees and sales agents) and external users (site or portal users) under different sales agents or accounts, with these requirements:

  • Employees can see everyone.
  • Sales agents can see employees, other agents, and their own customer user records only.
  • External customers can see other customers only if they are under the same agent or account.

To meet these requirements, set the default external access to Private, and extend access using sharing rules, manual sharing, or user permissions.
