a. Assign the Standard User profile to recruiters.
b. Assign the Read Only profile to recruiters.
c. Create a custom profile that has the View All permission enabled for the Position object and assign the custom profile to recruiters.
d. Create a custom profile that has the Delete permission disabled for the Positions object and assign the custom profile to recruiters.
d. Create a custom profile that has the Delete permission disabled for the Positions object and assign the custom profile to recruiters.

Since permissions on a standard profile cannot be modified, an administrator needs to create a custom profile that has the Delete permission disabled for the Position object. The system administrator needs to assign this custom profile to recruiters.
The human resources team at Universal Containers wants to track additional information on the review record for interviews that evaluated the candidates technical knowledge. This additional information is not needed for non-technical reviews. How can an administrator meet this requirement?

b. Create a specific page layout, assign it to a permission set, and assign that permission set to the two interns.
c. Create a specific page layout and assign it to the profile the interns are assigned.
d. Create a new record type, assign it to a permission set, and assign that permission set to the two interns.
c. Create a specific page layout and assign it to the profile the interns are assigned.

Since the interns are inputting positions of different record types, only a new page layout is needed. Page layouts can be assigned to a user through their profiles.
What settings can be set via a permission set?
a. Approval Processes
b. Visualforce Page Access
c. Picklist Items
d. Object permissions
b. Visualforce Page Access
d. Object permissions

A permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that give users access to various tools and functions. The settings and permissions in a permission sets are also found in profiles, but permission sets extend the users' functional access without changing their profiles.
What do Record Types control?
a. Which page layout to use.
b. Which records a user may view.
c. Which fields a user may view.
d. Which options are available in a picklist.
a. Which page layout to use.
d. Which options are available in a picklist.

Record Types control which Page Layout to use and which options are available to select in a picklist field. Although a Page Layout controls which fields to display, the user can still view fields values in a list view, report, etc. Record Types does not control access to specific records. Record access is determined by ownership and the sharing model.
What feature sets the default level of access users have to records they do not own, in each object?
a. Sharing rules
b. Organizational-wide defaults
c. Role hierarchy
d. Manual sharing
b. Organizational-wide defaults

Organization-wide defaults set the default level of access users have to records they do not own, in each object. The role hierarchy, sharing rules, teams, and manual sharing are used to open up access to records, in order to access a record, users must also have the appropriate object permission on their profile or a permission set.
At Universal Containers, the organization-wide default for Candidates is set to Private. The audit team needs to see all the candidates that are located in California. How can a developer meet this requirement?
a. Create an owner-based sharing rule for Candidate that gives read/write access to a role.
b. Change the organization-wide defaults for Candidates to Public Read/Write
c. Create a criteria-based sharing rule for Candidates that gives read access to a public group.
d. Create a new product auditor role in the role hierarchy which is above the VP of Human Resources role.
c. Create a criteria-based sharing rule for Candidates that gives read access to a public group.

A sharing rule can be created that gives read/write access to a public group. The criteria would be set to only share records where State equals California. The records would be shared with a public group that contains the auditors.
At Universal Containers, the executive assistant needs the ability to view, edit, and transfer ownership of all records. However, she should not be able to delete any records. Which two steps should the developer take to meet this requirement?
a. Create a sharing rule for each object that gives Read/Write access for all records to the executive assistant.
b. Change the organization-wide default for all objects to Public Read Only.
c. Assign the executive assistant to the highest role in the role hierarchy.
d. Create a custom profile with the Delete object permission disabled for all objects and assign this profile to the executive assistant.
c. Assign the executive assistant to the highest role in the role hierarchy.
d. Create a custom profile with the Delete object permission disabled for all objects and assign this profile to the executive assistant.

An administrator can assign the executive assistant to the highest role in the role hierarchy. The assistant will inherit the special ownership privileges on all records owned by users in roles below her. This means the assistant can view, edit, delete, and transfer ownership of all records. To restrict the assistant from deleting records she can access, the administrator can create a custom profile and assign it to the assistant. The custom profile will have the Delete object permission disabled for all objects.
Universal Containers wants new candidates processed as quickly as possible by any available recruiters. What feature can be used to facilitate this process?
a. Create a queue for all recruiters and assign all new candidate records to that queue.

c. Assign all recruiters to the same role in the role hierarchy.
d. Create a new profile for the recruiters and assign all the new candidate to a user assigned to that profile.
a. Create a queue for all recruiters and assign all new candidate records to that queue.

Queues help your teams manage records. Once records are placed in a queue, records remain there until they're assigned to a user or taken by one of the queue members. Any queue members or users above them in the role hierarchy can take ownership of records in a queue.
In the Recruiting application, a user with the Profile permission "Modify All" enabled on the Candidate object will be able to transfer ownership of any Candidate record.
a. True
b. False
a. False

Modify All provides full access to all records of that type. Transferring ownership in one of the capabilities of full access.
What does field-level security control?
a. Which fields are automatically generated by the system.
b. Which fields users can view and edit based on their profile.
c. Which fields are required in the user interface.
d. Which fields are encrypted to users based on their profile.
b. Which fields users can view and edit based on their profile.

Field-level security lets you restrict what fields users can view and edit based on their profile. Field-level security restricts access to a field on record detail and edit pages, related lists, search results, reports, and list views.
What is the default Org Wide Default of a custom object?

a. Private
b. Public
c. Secure
d. Limited
a. Private

If there is any user that should not be able to see the records, the organization wide default should be set to Private. Profiles, Permission Sets, Sharing Rules, and manual sharing should be used to open access to those that need it.
Universal Containers wants all users to be able to see the Position records, but only the recruiters should be able to see the Pay Grade. What feature can be used to accomplish this?
a. Record Types
b. Field Level Security
c. Page Layouts
d. Organization-Wide Defaults
b. Field Level Security

Field-level security settings let administrators restrict users' access to view and edit specific fields. Though page layouts and record types can be used to remove fields from the detail or edit view, these fields may still be viewed from the related list or API. Organization-wide defaults cannot control visibility of individual fields.
What happens when a user attempts to save a record, and the formula defined by a custom validation rule evaluates to true for that record?

a. Created, and any time it's edited to no longer meet criteria.
b. Created
c. Created, and any time it's edited to subsequently meet criteria
d. Deleted
b. Created
c. Created, and any time it's edited to subsequently meet criteria

The evaluation criteria determines which records the workflow rule will apply to. Depending on how the administrator sets the evaluation criteria, workflow rules are evaluated when the record is: Created; Created, and every time it's edited; and Created, and any time it's edited to subsequently meet criteria.
When a workflow rule that has time-dependent actions is triggered, where can a developer view and manage any pending actions?
a. In the time-dependent workflow queue
b. On the workflow rule that was triggered
c. On the record that triggered the workflow rule

The data loader can be used to: Import files that contain between 50,000 and 5,000,000 records. Load certain standard objects, such as products or opportunities. Schedule imports. Save field mappings for later use. Update, upsert, export of delete data.
Which field property allows you to identify the record when performing an upsert?
a. Required
b. Unique
c. External ID
d. Singular
c. External ID

An external ID is a custom field that has the "External ID" property, meaning that it contains unique record identifiers from an outside system. When importing records, you can use external IDs to prevent duplicate records from being created as a result of the import operation.
What can you do with a Visualforce Controller?
a. Associate the Visualforce Page with a Page Layout?

c. Determine who has access to the Visualforce Page.
d. Associate the Visualforce Page with a specific object.
b. Provide a set of actions that can be performed.
d. Associate the Visualforce Page with a specific object.

A standard controller is associated with every standard and custom object. A standard controller both provides a set of actions that can be performed and associates a page with a specific object and tab style. Standard controllers do not influence access settings or page layout. In the exercise, we associated our page with the Position standard controller.
The recruiters at Universal Containers have requested that the candidate list view match the look and feel of the employee referral web page. What can be used to accomplish this?
a. Page Layouts
b. Visualforce
c. Record Types
d. Publisher Actions
