Exam Sharing-and-Visibility-Architect Topic 3 Question 72 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's Sharing-and-Visibility-Architect exam
Question #: 72
Topic #: 3
Universal Containers (UC) is looking to expand its delivery capabilities through a network of distributors that use a Partner Community license. UC employees currently can view all delivery records through the organization-wide default (OWD) setting of Public Read-Only.
Which approach should an architect recommend to limit the records a distributor can see?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

In Salesforce, controlling access to records for external users starts with the External Organization-Wide Default (OWD) setting. Setting the Delivery object's External OWD to Private ensures that distributors can only see records explicitly shared with them.
* Option A: Ownership-based sharing rules are not applicable if the distributors do not own the records.
* Option B: Criteria-based sharing rules can grant access but rely on the External OWD being set to Private first.
* Option C (Correct): Setting the External OWD to Private is the foundation for implementing sharing logic, limiting distributors' access only to records explicitly shared with them.
