At Kalgoorlie Analytics, the organisation-wide default for the Contract object is Public Read Only. The compliance team, defined as a public group, must be able to edit every Contract record regardless of owner, but no other change to the baseline is wanted. Which configuration achieves this with the least disruption?
- ACreate an owner-based sharing rule that shares Contract records owned by all internal users with the compliance public group at Read/Write access level.check_circle Correct
- BChange the Contract organisation-wide default to Public Read/Write so that everyone, including the compliance group, can edit all Contract records without further configuration.
- CCreate a criteria-based sharing rule on Contract that shares all records with the compliance public group at Read/Write access level.
- DAssign the compliance group members a permission set with the Modify All permission for the Contract object, which grants edit access to all Contract records.
Owner-based sharing rules keyed on all internal users grant a group access to every record while preserving the org-wide default for others. Sharing rules can only open access wider than the org-wide default, never restrict it. An owner-based rule sharing records owned by all internal users with the compliance group at Read/Write extends edit rights to that group alone, meeting the requirement without loosening the baseline for the whole organisation.
Why A is correct: Correct. An owner-based sharing rule keyed on records owned by all internal users grants the compliance group Read/Write across every record while leaving the Public Read Only baseline untouched for everyone else.
Why B is wrong: Tempting because it guarantees the compliance team can edit, but it grants edit access to the entire organisation, which contradicts the requirement to change nothing else about the baseline.
Why C is wrong: Tempting because sharing rules can grant Read/Write, but a criteria-based rule keys off field values on the record; with no meaningful criterion to match every record this is the wrong sharing-rule type for an all-records share.
Why D is wrong: Tempting because Modify All on an object does grant edit to all its records, but it also bypasses sharing entirely and is a broad object permission rather than the targeted record-sharing the requirement calls for; it cannot be assigned to a public group, only to profiles or permission sets per user.

How does deleting a parent record differ between a master-detail relationship and a lookup relationship when related child records exist?
- AIn both relationship types the child records are automatically deleted along with the parent record.
- BIn both relationship types the child records are retained and the relationship field is simply cleared.
- CIn a master-detail relationship the child (detail) records are deleted with the parent, whereas in a lookup relationship the children are retained by default.check_circle Correct
- DIn a lookup relationship the child records are deleted with the parent, whereas in a master-detail relationship they are retained.
Understand that master-detail cascades deletion to child records while a lookup retains them by default. Master-detail is tightly coupled so a detail record cannot exist without its master, which forces a cascade delete of children, whereas a lookup is loosely coupled and leaves child records untouched when the parent is removed.
Why A is wrong: This is tempting because both relationships link a child to a parent, but only master-detail cascades the delete. A lookup does not delete its child records by default.
Why B is wrong: This describes only the lookup behaviour. In a master-detail relationship the detail records cannot survive without their master, so they are cascade-deleted rather than retained.
Why C is correct: Master-detail is a tightly coupled relationship where the detail record cannot exist without its master, so deleting the master cascades the delete to the children, while a standard lookup leaves the child records in place.
Why D is wrong: This reverses the two behaviours. Cascade delete belongs to master-detail because of its tight coupling, not to the loosely coupled lookup relationship.

In Salesforce activity management, what is the key distinction between a task and an event?
- AA task can be logged against a record, whereas an event can only exist on a user's personal calendar and cannot relate to any record.
- BA task is a to-do item with a due date and a status, whereas an event is a scheduled activity that occupies a block of time with a start and an end.check_circle Correct
- CA task appears on the activity timeline, whereas an event appears only in reports and is never shown on a record's timeline.
- DA task can be assigned to another user, whereas an event is always owned by the person who created it and cannot be reassigned.
Distinguish a task as a status-bearing to-do from an event as a time-blocked calendar activity. Tasks represent work to complete and carry a status and due date, while events represent scheduled time and require a start and end, which is why they render differently on the calendar and timeline.
Why A is wrong: This is tempting because events are calendar items, but it is wrong: events can be related to records through the Name and Related To fields just as tasks can.
Why B is correct: Correct: tasks track work to be completed and carry a status such as Not Started or Completed, while events are calendared items with a specific start and end time.
Why C is wrong: This is tempting because timelines emphasise tasks, but it is wrong: both open events and open tasks appear on the activity timeline of a related record.
Why D is wrong: This is tempting because tasks are often reassigned, but it is wrong: events also have an owner and assigned user and can be reassigned like other activities.
