question
How many sharing records are created when a group of 5 users is granted access?
answer
One. A single sharing record is created for groups in the object share table.
question
Describe the process followed when a user requests access to a record.
answer
1. First, it checks whether a profile, permission set, or OWD setting already gives the user the level of access requested. 2. If the user does not have that level of access, the system queries the object share table to see if there is a row in which the record's ID and user's ID appears. 3. Next, it queries the group membership table to identify all groups that could provide access to the user. 4. It then scans the object share table again to see if there is a row in which any of these groups has already been granted access. 5. Finally, it compares the level of access granted directly to the user with the levels of access granted to the groups the user belongs to, giving the user the least restrictive level of access.

answer
Records are shared directly to users or groups (Ex: - A user or queue becomes the owner of a record. - A sharing rule shares the record to a public group, queue, role, or territory - An assignment rule shares a record to a user)
question
What is a Group Membership Grant?
answer
A grant that occurs when a user, public group, queue, role, or territory is a member of a group that has explicit access to the record.
question
What is an Inherited Grant?
answer
A grant that occurs when a user, group, queue, role, or territory inherits access through a role or territory hierarchy.
question
What is an Implicit Grant?
answer
A grant that occurs when a built-in record sharing behavior provides access to a record. (Ex: - Users can view a parent record if they have access to its child opportunity. - If a User has access to a parent account record, they also have access to its child opportunity, case, and contact records.

The tables store data that supports explicit and implicit grants. Each object has its own Object Sharing Table unless it is a detail in a master-detail relationship.
question
What information do the Group Maintenance Tables contain?
answer
The tables store data supporting group membership and inherited access grants (Ex: If the Object Sharing Table grants access to a specific User, Salesforce checks the Group Maintenance Table to determine which users inherit access from Bob and grants these users access to the record.

question
Term for an owner of more than 10,000 Records?
answer
Ownership Data Skew
question
What issues are caused by Ownership Data Skew?
answer
Changing the owner of that account or moving those users in the hierarchy requires the system to recalculate all the sharing and inheritance for all the data under the account.
question
What is a workaround to ownership data skew?
answer
You can minimize possible performance impacts by not assigning the user(s) to a role.
question
Recommendations for data skew issues when you must have a small group or single owner
answer
• Place them in a separate role at the top of the hierarchy • Not move them out of that top-level role • Keep them out of public groups that could be used as the source for sharing rules
question
Tuning Group Membership for Performance
answer
Understand the performance characteristics of the various group maintenance operations that you are performing and always test substantial configuration changes in a sandbox environment so you know what to expect in production.
question
Group Membership Tuning 1
answer
• Identify user and group updates that are complex, such as user role and portal account ownership changes, or updates that involve a large amount of associated data. Allow for additional time to process these changes.
question
Group Membership Tuning 2
answer
• When making changes to the hierarchy, process changes to the bottom (leaf) nodes first, then move upward to avoid duplicate processing.
question
Group Membership Tuning 3
answer
• Limit the number of records of an object owned by a single user to 10,000.
question
Group Membership Tuning 4
answer
• Run group maintenance operations single threaded to prevent locking. Investigate whether the use of granular locking will allow some of your operations to run simultaneously.
question
Granular Locking
answer
By default, the Force.com platform locks the entire group membership table to protect data integrity when Salesforce makes changes to roles and groups. This locking makes it impossible to process group changes in multiple threads to increase throughput on updates.
question
Group Membership Tuning 4
answer
• Tune your updates for maximum throughput by experimenting with batch sizes and using the bulk API, where possible.
question
Group Membership Tuning 5
answer
• Remove redundant paths of access, such as sharing rules that provide access to people who already have it through the hierarchy.
question
Parent Child Data Skew
answer
A common configuration that can lead to poor performance is the association of a large number of child records (10,000 or more) with a single parent account. Parent-child data skew can cause serious performance problems in the maintenance of implicit sharing.
question
Data Relationship Tuning 1
answer
• Use a Public Read Only or Read/Write organization-wide default sharing model for all non-confidential data.
question
Data Relationship Tuning 2
answer
• To avoid creating implicit shares, configure child objects to be Controlled by Parent wherever this configuration meets security requirements.
question
Data Relationship Tuning 3
answer
• Configure parent-child relationships with no more than 10,000 children to one parent record.
question
Data Relationship Tuning 4
answer
• If you are encountering only occasional locking errors, see if the addition of retry logic is sufficient to solve the problem.
question
Data Relationship Tuning 5
answer
• Sequence operations on parent and child objects by ParentID and ensure that different threads are operating on unique sets of records.
question
Data Relationship Tuning 6
answer
• Tune your updates for maximum throughput by working with batch sizes, timeout values, the Bulk API, and other performance-optimizing techniques
question
Community User Limits
answer
Partner or Customer Community Plus 1 million. Customer 10 million

question
Record Ownership Background
answer
Record ownership is at the core of Salesforce's record access capabilities, which allow you to specify which users or types of users should be able to access specific records or types of records.
question
Ownership Use Case: Solo Work
answer
For many assignments, employees work independently for their individual customers and have their progress monitored by their team's manager. Configuring access at the role level is ideal for this use case because the role hierarchy configures record access vertically.
question
Ownership Use Case: Ad hoc collaboration
answer
Every organization must both protect sensitive data and allow its users to collaborate so they can quickly solve problems for their customers. The record ownership model clarifies which user is responsible for keeping each record accurate and secure, and allows record owners to share
question
Ownership use case: Structured collaboration
answer
As companies grow and need to allocate responsibilities for processes and functions across many business units, the members of their organization need to share data across these business units more and more often. A company's customer service team needs business

question
Allows you to create sharing rules in which you can choose specific Salesforce users in your organization by role plus all of the users in roles below that role, excluding any partner portal roles
answer
Partner Portal Role Hierarchy
question
A portal user role hierarchy is created for an account and its contacts when you enable the first partner portal user on that account. The account is added to the role hierarchy beneath the user that owns the account. Whenever you enable a contact as a partner portal user, he or she is automatically assigned.
answer
Accounts with different portal types
question
Accounts with different portal types have a separate role hierarchy for each portal. Role names include the portal type with which they are associated.
answer
Partner Users
question
All users in a partner user role have read access to all contacts under their partner account even when the contact sharing model is private. Partner users have read-write access to tasks associated with any object they can access. They also have read access to events associated with any object they can access.

answer
Security and Code
question
External service integration points, VisualForce controllers and triggers all have the potential for bypassing existing security configurations.
answer
why doesn't Apex enforce platform security at all times
question
Enforcing sharing rules at compile time is impractical, as that would require recompiling code (with the associated possibility of compile time errors) for each user. Enforcing security at runtime would be potentially very costly in terms of performance,
answer
Security Boundaries
question
When and where security gets enforced using code
answer
"With Sharing"
question
Sharing rules are implemented as part of the query system. When a class is defined "With Sharing", queries and searches will only return objects that are accessible to the user. But when it comes to Apex, that's about all you can count on. If your class is defined Without sharing, queries and searches will ignore sharing rules. And
answer
"With Sharing" 2
question
There is no guarantee that a class declared as with sharing doesn't call code that operates as without sharing. Class-level security is always still necessary. In addition, all SOQL or SOSL queries that use PriceBook2 ignore the with sharing keyword. All PriceBook records are returned, regardless of the applied sharing rules.
answer
Apex: System Context
question
Apex generally runs in system context; that is, the current user's permissions, field-level security, and sharing rules aren't taken into account during code execution.
answer
The only exceptions to this rule are Apex code that is executed with the executeAnonymous call and Chatter in Apex.
question
Apex Managed Sharing

Encrypted Text Fields 4
answer
Existing custom fields cannot be converted into encrypted fields nor can encrypted fields be converted into another data type. To encrypt the values of an existing (unencrypted) field, export the data, create an encrypted custom field to store that data, and import that data into the new encrypted field.
question
When to use encrypted fields
answer
Use encrypted custom fields only when government regulations require it because they involve more processing and have search-related limitations.
question
Shield Platform Encryption

answer
* Owner field (except on detail records) * Object Share Tables * Group Membership Tables
question
Territory Management Objects/Decision Point
answer
Territory Management natively supports assignments for only accounts and opportunities. To assign additional types of object records such as leads, orders, or custom object records you must make significant customizations to your organization.
question
Territory Management LDV/Decision Point
answer
Organization B frequently realigns its 400,000 accounts. This number might seem large, but Salesforce has customers who realign over 60 million accounts. For the Salesforce Territory Management decision tree, consider that an organization with more than 200,000 accounts has large
question
Team-Based Territory Management
answer
Team-based territory management uses accounts and sales teams to define responsibilities across a sales organization. Team-based territory management works as an alternative to the Territory Management feature when territory assignments affect only accounts and
question
Public Group-Based Territory Management
answer
Public group-based territory management uses Salesforce public groups to define teams associated with accounts, opportunities, leads, and other types of records. You can nest public groups to establish a record access hierarchy separate from your role hierarchy, but your forecasts
question
Criteria-Based Territory Management
answer
Criteria-based sharing territory management uses criteria-based sharing rules to define responsibilities across a sales organization. Because of the limited number of criteria-based sharing rules available per object, only use criteria-based territory management if your organization is small.
question
Territory Models
answer
Only one model can be in the Active state at one time in your organization, and you can only activate a model that is in the Planning state. After activating a model, you cannot reset it to Planning state: you can only set it to Archived state.
question
Platform Encryption Best Practice: Number Fields
answer
Don't use Currency and Number fields for sensitive data. You can often keep private, sensitive, or regulated data safe without encrypting associated Currency or Number fields. Encrypting these fields could have broad functional consequences across the platform, such as disruptions to roll-up summary reports, report timeframes, and calculations, so they are not encryptable.
question
Platform Encryption Keys
answer
Encrypt your data using the most current key. When you generate a new tenant secret, any new data is encrypted using this key. However, existing sensitive data remains encrypted using previous keys. In this situation, Salesforce strongly recommends re-encrypting these fields using the latest key. Contact Salesforce for help with this.
question
What is a territory type?
answer
Allows you to organize territories by key characteristics. Every territory must have a territory type. Do not appear in territory hierarchy.
question
What is a Territory Model?
answer
A territory model represents a complete territory system. Modeling allows you to create and preview multiple territory structures and user/account assignments before activating the model.

question
What are the best practices for using role hierarchy and territory hierarchy in conjunction?
answer
Remember that access provided by territory managements rolls up through the role hierarchy. Do not duplicate the role hierarchy. Instead, use the role hierarchy for management relationships, reporting rollups, approvals and other hierarchically structured workflows. Use territories to expand access to opportunities and accounts.
question
What should you do when you add parent territories?
answer
It's a good idea to add inherited account assignment rules.
question
What is the best way to re-parent territories?
answer
From the bottom up (so that you do not have to recalculate access for the same territories)
question
How can you improve the performance of certain territory related locking operations?
answer
Enable granular locking, which attempts to lock only the modified portions of the table. This can improve performance of the following items: 1) Adding/deleting/transferring user from a territory 2) Re-parent a territory 3) Create or delete a territory within a hierarchy 4) Adding or removing a forecast manager
question
Which territory related locking operations will not be improved by enabling granular locking?
answer
1) Modifying access levels 2) Making manual assignments to an account 3) Adding, deleting, or updating rules 4) Previewing account assignment 5) Assigning an object or removing an object from a territory
question
What should you consider if you have an existing system for managing territories or a complex and large set of territories?
answer
You should consider integrating an external source of truth
question
How can you architect a territory system for peak performance?
answer
1) Use inherited criteria whenever possible 2) If standard account assignment rules aren't flexible enough, consider using formula fields in the account assignment rule 3) Make your direct and inherited assignment rules as restrictive as possible
question

T/F You can share an opportunity or case to users without Read access on the Account and where you do not have the ability to share the Account.
answer
False
question
What are the three key components of the ownership-based architecture?
answer
1. Owner field for all records 2. Object share tables 3. Group membership tables
question
Which fields does a row in an object share table contain?
answer
1. ID of the record being shared 2. ID of the user or group being granted access 3. Level of access 4. Reason the access is being granted
question
How many sharing records are created when a group of 5 users is granted access?
answer
One. A single sharing record is created for groups in the object share table.
question
Describe the process followed when a user requests access to a record.
answer
1. First, it checks whether a profile, permission set, or OWD setting already gives the user the level of access requested. 2. If the user does not have that level of access, the system queries the object share table to see if there is a row in which the record's ID and user's ID appears. 3. Next, it queries the group membership table to identify all groups that could provide access to the user. 4. It then scans the object share table again to see if there is a row in which any of these groups has already been granted access. 5. Finally, it compares the level of access granted directly to the user with the levels of access granted to the groups the user belongs to, giving the user the least restrictive level of access.
question
What are role groups?
answer
Role groups gives users assigned to a role access to records owned by or shared to members of subordinate roles, and records shared to the subordinate roles themselves.
question
What security tactic should you employ if you don't want anyone including the record owner, to be able to delete or share the record?
answer
Create a "dummy" or "integration" user to own the data, then use sharing rules or apex to share data to the appropriate groups.
question
Why would you need to use a custom permission?
answer
Although permission sets and profile settings include access settings to many things (like objects, fields, etc.), they don't include access for some custom processes and apps. Use custom settings when standard functionality isn't enough.
question
What are custom permissions?
answer
They let you define access checks that can be assigned to users via permission sets or profiles.
question
What is an example of a custom permission?
answer
You can define access checks in Apex that make a button a VF page available only if a user has the appropriate custom permission.
question
What is an external object?
answer
They are similar to custom objects, except they map to data that's stored outside of Salesforce. They enable your users to to search and interact with external data.
question
What are the four types of Access Grants?
answer
1. Explicit Grants 2. Group Membership Grants 3. Inherited Grants 4. Implicit Grants
question
What is an Explicit Grant?
answer
Records are shared directly to users or groups (Ex: - A user or queue becomes the owner of a record. - A sharing rule shares the record to a public group, queue, role, or territory - An assignment rule shares a record to a user)
question
What is a Group Membership Grant?
answer
A grant that occurs when a user, public group, queue, role, or territory is a member of a group that has explicit access to the record.
question
What is an Inherited Grant?
answer
A grant that occurs when a user, group, queue, role, or territory inherits access through a role or territory hierarchy.
question
What is an Implicit Grant?
answer
A grant that occurs when a built-in record sharing behavior provides access to a record. (Ex: - Users can view a parent record if they have access to its child opportunity. - If a User has access to a parent account record, they also have access to its child opportunity, case, and contact records.
question
Which three tables does Salesforce use to store access grants?
answer
1. Object Record Tables 2. Object Sharing Tables 3. Group Maintenance Tables
question
What information do the Object Sharing Tables contain?
answer
The tables store data that supports explicit and implicit grants. Each object has its own Object Sharing Table unless it is a detail in a master-detail relationship.
question
What information do the Group Maintenance Tables contain?
answer
The tables store data supporting group membership and inherited access grants (Ex: If the Object Sharing Table grants access to a specific User, Salesforce checks the Group Maintenance Table to determine which users inherit access from Bob and grants these users access to the record.
question
What do sharing rows do?
answer
Grant users or groups access to a specific record.
question
What do sharing rows include?
answer
1) Record ID 2) User or Group ID 3) Level of Access 4) Row Cause

question
What is a sharing set?
answer
Grants HVC access to any account or contact that matches the user's contact or account. Also supports indirect lookups
question
What is a share group?
answer
Because HVC don't have roles, share groups are used to specify the other external users that should have access to HVC owned records.

answer
Apex managed sharing enables developers to programmatically manipulate sharing to support their application's behavior through Apex or the SOAP API. (Maintained across record ownership changes.)
question
What is an Apex sharing reason?
answer
A method to track why a record is shared with a user or group.
question
What two things make up an Apex sharing reason?
answer
1) Label, which displays the reason 2) Name, which is used when referencing the reason through the API and Apex
question
What format would the Apex Sharing Reason have where the name is MyReasonName?
answer
MyReasonName__c
question
How would the Apex Sharing Reason MyReasonName be referenced for an object CustomObject?
answer
Schema.CustomObject__Share.rowCause.MyReasonName__c
question
How would an apex sharing reason called Recruiter for a custom object Job be called?
answer
Schema.Job__Share.rowCause.Recruiter__c
question
How do you prevent Apex managed sharing from being deleted when an owner is changed?
answer
Set the row case to value other than "Manual" using (the default) using Apex Sharing Reasons. (ONLY FOR CUSTOM OBJECTS; OTHERWISE USE AN OUTBOUND MESSAGE)
question
What does Apex running in the system context mean?
answer
The current user's permissions, FLS, and sharing rules are not taken into consideration during code execution.
question
What is the exception to Apex running into the system context?
answer
Apex code executed with the executeAnonymous call and Chatter are not executed in system context. (It executes using the full permissions of the current user.)
question
What is the best way to avoid accidentally revealing secured info through Apex classes?
answer
Use the "With Sharing" keyword to enforce sharing rules
question
Why might you not want to specify "With Sharing" on an Apex class?
answer
1) Enforcing sharing rules at compile time is impractical 2) Enforcing security at runtime could become costly in terms of performance 3) There are some useful scenarios where it's valuable to bypass security
question
T/F The "With Sharing" keyword enforces the user's permission, FLS, and sharing rules?
answer
False. "With Sharing" only enforces sharing rules.
question
T/F A class declared as "with sharing" will never call code that operates as "without sharing".
answer
False. If an inner class is declared as "Without Sharing", it will execute without enforcing the sharing rules that apply to the context user.
question
What happens to manually shared records when the owner is changed?
answer
User managed sharing is removed when the record owner changes.
question
T/F Custom sharing reasons can be defined for standard and custom objects.
answer
False. Custom sharing reasons can only be written for custom objects.
question
T/F Object shares can be written for standard and custom objects.
answer
True
question
T/F Objects with a default sharing setting of "Public Read/Write" have a share table?
answer
False
question
T/F The UserOrGroupID can be assigned to a Role ID.
answer
False. The UserOrGroupID should instead be assigned to the matching Group ID from the Group table.
question
How does Apex managed sharing behave differently than other forms of record-level sharing?
answer
1) Sharing records are maintained across record owner changes 2) The only users that can modify these sharing records are those with the "Modify All Data" permission 3) A record can be shared multiple times with the same user or group using different Apex sharing reasons
question
In which scenarios will SFDC not enforce FLS or CRUD?
answer
1) When objects or field values are referenced as generic data types or data is copied to other elements. 2) Passing custom Apex classes that copy or wrap SObject data to VF pages 3) All Apex web services 4) Lightning components when you reference objects or retrieve objects from an Apex controller 4) SObject updates, creates, or deletes done within Apex controllers or extensions
question
How can you enforce CRUD/FLS in Apex web services, Lightning components, and controllers?
answer
Call isAccessible() on all SObject fields before returning data to the user
question
How can you enforce CRUD/FLS for Create, Update, and Delete Operations in Apex classes?
answer
For create and update operations, each field assigned a value in Apex should have a describe result isCreateable() or isUpdateable(). (Fields assigned a value with apex:inputField tag are automatically checked) For delete operations, the check should be at the object level. The object's describe result isDeletable() should be called.
question
What is the easiest way to enforce CRUD/FLS in Apex?
answer
Perform operations in VisualForce and to operate directly on SObjects and fields.
question
How do you check the field-level update permission of the contact's email field before updating it?
answer
if (Schema.sObjectType.Contact.fields.Email.isUpdateable()) { //Update contact email }
question
How do you check the field-level create permission of the contact's email field before creating a new contact?
answer
if(Schema.sObjectType.Contact.fields.Email.isCreatable()){ //Create new contact }
question
How do you check the field-level read permission of the contact's email field before querying the field?
answer
if (Schema.sObjectType.Contact.Fields.isAccessible()){ Contact c = [SELECT Email FROM Contact WHERE IF= :ID]; }
question
How do you check the object-level permission for the contact before deleting it?
answer
if(Schema.sObjectType.Contact.isDeleteable()){ //Delete Contact }
question
What is Account Data Skew?
answer
A situation where an Account's parent object has more than 10,000 child objects.
question
How can you avoid account data skew?
answer
1) Design architecture to limit account objects to 10,000 children. (You could create a pool of Accounts and assign children in a round robin OR use Custom settings for the current account and number of children.) 2) Consider a Public Read/Write sharing model 3) If the account is skewed, redistribute child objects during off-peak hours
question
What is the high-level benefit of the SFDC group membership architecture?
answer
Since the group is a representation of one or more users who share a single access grant, moving a group access grant involves maintaining only a single share record for the group (instead of a share record for every member of the group).
question
What happens when a user is moved from one group to another?
answer
An org-wide group membership lock is triggered. Highly dynamic groups can have a negative impact on performance.
question
How is the sharing performance benefit correlated with the number of group members and the frequency of user movement within the groups?
answer
The benefit will decrease as the number of group members decreases and the frequency of user movement within the groups increases.
question
Which actions does SFDC perform when a user moves from one branch of the hierarchy to another, if the user is the first member in their role to own data?
answer
1) Salesforce adds access to the user's data for people who are above the user's new role in the hierarchy 2) Salesforce removes access for people who were above the user's old role in the hierarchy
question
Which actions does Salesforce take when a user moves from one branch of the hierarchy to another, if the user has a new role with different settings for accessing contacts, cases, and opportunities?
answer
1) Adds shares to those child objects where the new settings are more permissive 2) Removes existing shares where the new settings are more restrictive
question
Which actions does SFDC always taken, when a user moves from one branch of the hierarchy to another?
answer
1) Removes all of the user's records from the scope of sharing rules where the old role is the source group 2) Adds all of the user's records to the scope of rules where the new role is the source
question
What is ownership data skew?
answer
When a single user owns more than 10,000 records of an object
question
How can you minimize the impact of users facing ownership data skew?
answer
1) Place the user in a separate role at the top of the hierarchy 2) Do not move them out of that top-level role 3) Keep the user out of public groups that could be used as the source for sharing rules
question
Why would a user experience a "could not acquire lock" error?
answer
The sharing system locks the tables holding group membership info during updates to prevent incompatible concurrent updates, which could lead to inaccurate data about users' access rights. The customer is likely executing large data loads or integrations that are making changes to tole/group structure, user assignments to role and groups, or both.
question
How can you lesson the chance of group membership locking errors?
answer
1) Schedule separate group maintenance processes so they don't overlap 2) Implementing retry logic in integrates and other automated group maintenance processes to recover from a failure 3) Use the granular locking feature to allow some group maintenance operations to proceed simultaneously
question
What does Parent Implicit Sharing provide?
answer
Read-only access to the parent account for a user with access to a child record Note: 1) Not used when sharing on the child is controlled by the parent 2) Expensive to maintain with many account children 3) When a user loses access to a child, SFDC has to check all other children to see if it can delete the implicit parent sharing grant.
question
What dos Child Implicit Sharing provide?
answer
Access to child records for the owner of the parent account Note: 1) Not used when sharing on the child is controlled by its parent 2) Controlled by child access setting for the account owner's role 3) Supports account sharing rules that grant child record access 4) Supports account team access based on team settings 5) When a user loses access to the parent, SFDC has to remove all the implicit child sharing for that user
question
What does Boss Implicit Sharing provide?
answer
Access to records owned by or shared to portal users for internal users Note: 1) Shared to the role of the account owner 2) Supports inheritance within portal roles
question
What does Portal Implicit Sharing provide?
answer
Access to portal account and all associated contacts for all portal users under that account Note: Shared to the lowest role under the portal account
question
What is Parent-Child Data Skew?
answer
The association of a large number of child records (10,000 or more) with a single parent account.
question
How can you avoid creating implicit shares?
answer
Configure child objects to be Controlled by Parent whenever possible
question
How can you tune your updates for maximum throughput?
answer
Work with batch sizes, timeout values, the Bulk API, and other performance-optimizing techniques.
question
What is deferred sharing maintenance?
answer
Instead of processing separate updates and waiting for them to complete, the admin "turns off" processing of group maintenance operations and makes all the desired changes at the same time. Once the changes have been completed, the admin resumes processing group maintenance, and the system performs a recalculation to make the role and group changes take effect. The system then requires a full recalculation of sharing rules, which can be set to take place immediately or to start at a later time.
question
Who can benefit from deferred sharing?
answer
Company's that can negotiate downtime with customers and have struggled to complete updates in a timely fashion.
question
What are the key advantages of granular locking?
answer
1) Groups that are in separate hierarchies can be manipulated concurrently 2) Public groups and roles that do not include territories can be manipulated concurrently 3) Users can be added concurrently to territories and public groups 4) User provisioning can occur in parallel 5) A single-long running process, such as a role delete, only blocks a small subset of operations
question
What is granular locking?
answer
The system employs additional logic to allow multiple updates to proceed simultaneously if there is no hierarchical or other relationship between the roles or groups involved
question
Who can benefit from granular locking?
answer
Customers who frequently experience locking that restricts their ability to manage manual and automated group maintenance operations.
question
Which activities take out group membership locks during their transaction?
answer
1) Role Creation 2) Role Deletion 3) Moving a role in the hierarchy 4) Adding a user to a territory 5) Removing a user from a territory 6) Moving a territory in the hierarchy 7) Territory deletion 8) Territory creation 9) Provisioning an internal user with an existing role 10) User role change 11) Provisioning a non-HVPU portal user under an account 12) Portal Account owner change 13) User Role change of a user who owns one or more portal accounts
question

answer
The same level of access.
question
What Are Two Best Practices for Users Who Own More Than 10,000 Records?
answer
1. They shouldn't have a role in the role hierarchy. 2. If they must hold a role, it should be at the top in their own branch.
question
Who can take ownership of records belonging to a queue?
answer
Queue members and users higher in the role hierarchy.
question
How can you restrict access to an object?
answer
Org wide defaults are the only way. Everything else grants access.
question
What's the recommended max depth of a role hierarhy?
answer
10 levels.
question

question
T/F You can share an opportunity or case to users without Read access on the Account and where you do not have the ability to share the Account.
answer
False
question
What are the three key components of the ownership-based architecture?
answer
1. Owner field for all records 2. Object share tables 3. Group membership tables
question
Which fields does a row in an object share table contain?
answer
1. ID of the record being shared 2. ID of the user or group being granted access 3. Level of access 4. Reason the access is being granted
question
How many sharing records are created when a group of 5 users is granted access?
answer
One. A single sharing record is created for groups in the object share table.
question
Describe the process followed when a user requests access to a record.
answer
1. First, it checks whether a profile, permission set, or OWD setting already gives the user the level of access requested. 2. If the user does not have that level of access, the system queries the object share table to see if there is a row in which the record's ID and user's ID appears. 3. Next, it queries the group membership table to identify all groups that could provide access to the user. 4. It then scans the object share table again to see if there is a row in which any of these groups has already been granted access. 5. Finally, it compares the level of access granted directly to the user with the levels of access granted to the groups the user belongs to, giving the user the least restrictive level of access.
question
What are role groups?
answer
Role groups gives users assigned to a role access to records owned by or shared to members of subordinate roles, and records shared to the subordinate roles themselves.
question
What security tactic should you employ if you don't want anyone including the record owner, to be able to delete or share the record?
answer
Create a "dummy" or "integration" user to own the data, then use sharing rules or apex to share data to the appropriate groups.
question
Why would you need to use a custom permission?
answer
Although permission sets and profile settings include access settings to many things (like objects, fields, etc.), they don't include access for some custom processes and apps. Use custom settings when standard functionality isn't enough.
question
What are custom permissions?
answer
They let you define access checks that can be assigned to users via permission sets or profiles.
question
What is an example of a custom permission?
answer
You can define access checks in Apex that make a button a VF page available only if a user has the appropriate custom permission.
question
What is an external object?
answer
They are similar to custom objects, except they map to data that's stored outside of Salesforce. They enable your users to to search and interact with external data.
question
What are the four types of Access Grants?
answer
1. Explicit Grants 2. Group Membership Grants 3. Inherited Grants 4. Implicit Grants
question
What is an Explicit Grant?
answer
Records are shared directly to users or groups (Ex: - A user or queue becomes the owner of a record. - A sharing rule shares the record to a public group, queue, role, or territory - An assignment rule shares a record to a user)
question
What is a Group Membership Grant?
answer
A grant that occurs when a user, public group, queue, role, or territory is a member of a group that has explicit access to the record.
question
What is an Inherited Grant?
answer
A grant that occurs when a user, group, queue, role, or territory inherits access through a role or territory hierarchy.
question
What is an Implicit Grant?
answer
A grant that occurs when a built-in record sharing behavior provides access to a record. (Ex: - Users can view a parent record if they have access to its child opportunity. - If a User has access to a parent account record, they also have access to its child opportunity, case, and contact records.
question
Which three tables does Salesforce use to store access grants?
answer
1. Object Record Tables 2. Object Sharing Tables 3. Group Maintenance Tables
question
What information do the Object Sharing Tables contain?
answer
The tables store data that supports explicit and implicit grants. Each object has its own Object Sharing Table unless it is a detail in a master-detail relationship.
question
What information do the Group Maintenance Tables contain?
answer
The tables store data supporting group membership and inherited access grants (Ex: If the Object Sharing Table grants access to a specific User, Salesforce checks the Group Maintenance Table to determine which users inherit access from Bob and grants these users access to the record.
question
What do sharing rows do?
answer
Grant users or groups access to a specific record.
question
What do sharing rows include?
answer
1) Record ID 2) User or Group ID 3) Level of Access 4) Row Cause

question
What is a sharing set?
answer
Grants HVC access to any account or contact that matches the user's contact or account. Also supports indirect lookups
question

answer
1) Access Level: Edit, Read, All 2) Parent ID: Id of the object 3) RowCause: Reason why the user or group is being granted access 4) UserOrGroupID: the user or group ID to which you are granting access
question
What is Apex managed sharing?
answer
Apex managed sharing enables developers to programmatically manipulate sharing to support their application's behavior through Apex or the SOAP API. (Maintained across record ownership changes.)
question
What is an Apex sharing reason?
answer
A method to track why a record is shared with a user or group.
question
What two things make up an Apex sharing reason?
answer
1) Label, which displays the reason 2) Name, which is used when referencing the reason through the API and Apex
question
What format would the Apex Sharing Reason have where the name is MyReasonName?
answer
MyReasonName__c
question
How would the Apex Sharing Reason MyReasonName be referenced for an object CustomObject?
answer
Schema.CustomObject__Share.rowCause.MyReasonName__c
question
How would an apex sharing reason called Recruiter for a custom object Job be called?
answer
Schema.Job__Share.rowCause.Recruiter__c
question
How do you prevent Apex managed sharing from being deleted when an owner is changed?
answer
Set the row case to value other than "Manual" using (the default) using Apex Sharing Reasons. (ONLY FOR CUSTOM OBJECTS; OTHERWISE USE AN OUTBOUND MESSAGE)
question
What does Apex running in the system context mean?
answer
The current user's permissions, FLS, and sharing rules are not taken into consideration during code execution.
question
What is the exception to Apex running into the system context?
answer
Apex code executed with the executeAnonymous call and Chatter are not executed in system context. (It executes using the full permissions of the current user.)
question
What is the best way to avoid accidentally revealing secured info through Apex classes?
answer
Use the "With Sharing" keyword to enforce sharing rules
question
Why might you not want to specify "With Sharing" on an Apex class?
answer
1) Enforcing sharing rules at compile time is impractical 2) Enforcing security at runtime could become costly in terms of performance 3) There are some useful scenarios where it's valuable to bypass security
question
T/F The "With Sharing" keyword enforces the user's permission, FLS, and sharing rules?
answer
False. "With Sharing" only enforces sharing rules.
question
T/F A class declared as "with sharing" will never call code that operates as "without sharing".
answer
False. If an inner class is declared as "Without Sharing", it will execute without enforcing the sharing rules that apply to the context user.
question
What happens to manually shared records when the owner is changed?
answer
User managed sharing is removed when the record owner changes.
question
T/F Custom sharing reasons can be defined for standard and custom objects.
answer
False. Custom sharing reasons can only be written for custom objects.
question
T/F Object shares can be written for standard and custom objects.
answer
True
question
T/F Objects with a default sharing setting of "Public Read/Write" have a share table?
answer
False
question
T/F The UserOrGroupID can be assigned to a Role ID.
answer
False. The UserOrGroupID should instead be assigned to the matching Group ID from the Group table.
question
How does Apex managed sharing behave differently than other forms of record-level sharing?
answer
1) Sharing records are maintained across record owner changes 2) The only users that can modify these sharing records are those with the "Modify All Data" permission 3) A record can be shared multiple times with the same user or group using different Apex sharing reasons
question
In which scenarios will SFDC not enforce FLS or CRUD?
answer
1) When objects or field values are referenced as generic data types or data is copied to other elements. 2) Passing custom Apex classes that copy or wrap SObject data to VF pages 3) All Apex web services 4) Lightning components when you reference objects or retrieve objects from an Apex controller 4) SObject updates, creates, or deletes done within Apex controllers or extensions
question
How can you enforce CRUD/FLS in Apex web services, Lightning components, and controllers?
answer
Call isAccessible() on all SObject fields before returning data to the user
question
How can you enforce CRUD/FLS for Create, Update, and Delete Operations in Apex classes?
answer
For create and update operations, each field assigned a value in Apex should have a describe result isCreateable() or isUpdateable(). (Fields assigned a value with apex:inputField tag are automatically checked) For delete operations, the check should be at the object level. The object's describe result isDeletable() should be called.
question
What is the easiest way to enforce CRUD/FLS in Apex?
answer
Perform operations in VisualForce and to operate directly on SObjects and fields.
question
How do you check the field-level update permission of the contact's email field before updating it?
answer
if (Schema.sObjectType.Contact.fields.Email.isUpdateable()) { //Update contact email }
question
How do you check the field-level create permission of the contact's email field before creating a new contact?
answer
if(Schema.sObjectType.Contact.fields.Email.isCreatable()){ //Create new contact }
question
How do you check the field-level read permission of the contact's email field before querying the field?
answer
if (Schema.sObjectType.Contact.Fields.isAccessible()){ Contact c = [SELECT Email FROM Contact WHERE IF= :ID]; }
question
How do you check the object-level permission for the contact before deleting it?
answer
if(Schema.sObjectType.Contact.isDeleteable()){ //Delete Contact }
question
What is Account Data Skew?
answer
A situation where an Account's parent object has more than 10,000 child objects.
question
How can you avoid account data skew?
answer
1) Design architecture to limit account objects to 10,000 children. (You could create a pool of Accounts and assign children in a round robin OR use Custom settings for the current account and number of children.) 2) Consider a Public Read/Write sharing model 3) If the account is skewed, redistribute child objects during off-peak hours
question
What is the high-level benefit of the SFDC group membership architecture?
answer
Since the group is a representation of one or more users who share a single access grant, moving a group access grant involves maintaining only a single share record for the group (instead of a share record for every member of the group).
question
What happens when a user is moved from one group to another?
answer
An org-wide group membership lock is triggered. Highly dynamic groups can have a negative impact on performance.
question
How is the sharing performance benefit correlated with the number of group members and the frequency of user movement within the groups?
answer
The benefit will decrease as the number of group members decreases and the frequency of user movement within the groups increases.
question
Which actions does SFDC perform when a user moves from one branch of the hierarchy to another, if the user is the first member in their role to own data?
answer
1) Salesforce adds access to the user's data for people who are above the user's new role in the hierarchy 2) Salesforce removes access for people who were above the user's old role in the hierarchy
question
Which actions does Salesforce take when a user moves from one branch of the hierarchy to another, if the user has a new role with different settings for accessing contacts, cases, and opportunities?
answer
1) Adds shares to those child objects where the new settings are more permissive 2) Removes existing shares where the new settings are more restrictive
question
Which actions does SFDC always taken, when a user moves from one branch of the hierarchy to another?
answer
1) Removes all of the user's records from the scope of sharing rules where the old role is the source group 2) Adds all of the user's records to the scope of rules where the new role is the source
question
What is ownership data skew?
answer
When a single user owns more than 10,000 records of an object
question
How can you minimize the impact of users facing ownership data skew?
answer
1) Place the user in a separate role at the top of the hierarchy 2) Do not move them out of that top-level role 3) Keep the user out of public groups that could be used as the source for sharing rules
question
Why would a user experience a "could not acquire lock" error?
answer
The sharing system locks the tables holding group membership info during updates to prevent incompatible concurrent updates, which could lead to inaccurate data about users' access rights. The customer is likely executing large data loads or integrations that are making changes to tole/group structure, user assignments to role and groups, or both.
question
How can you lesson the chance of group membership locking errors?
answer
1) Schedule separate group maintenance processes so they don't overlap 2) Implementing retry logic in integrates and other automated group maintenance processes to recover from a failure 3) Use the granular locking feature to allow some group maintenance operations to proceed simultaneously
question
What does Parent Implicit Sharing provide?
answer
Read-only access to the parent account for a user with access to a child record Note: 1) Not used when sharing on the child is controlled by the parent 2) Expensive to maintain with many account children 3) When a user loses access to a child, SFDC has to check all other children to see if it can delete the implicit parent sharing grant.
question
What dos Child Implicit Sharing provide?
answer
Access to child records for the owner of the parent account Note: 1) Not used when sharing on the child is controlled by its parent 2) Controlled by child access setting for the account owner's role 3) Supports account sharing rules that grant child record access 4) Supports account team access based on team settings 5) When a user loses access to the parent, SFDC has to remove all the implicit child sharing for that user
question
What does Boss Implicit Sharing provide?
answer
Access to records owned by or shared to portal users for internal users Note: 1) Shared to the role of the account owner 2) Supports inheritance within portal roles
question
What does Portal Implicit Sharing provide?
answer
Access to portal account and all associated contacts for all portal users under that account Note: Shared to the lowest role under the portal account
question
What is Parent-Child Data Skew?
answer
The association of a large number of child records (10,000 or more) with a single parent account.
question
How can you avoid creating implicit shares?
answer
Configure child objects to be Controlled by Parent whenever possible
question
How can you tune your updates for maximum throughput?
answer
Work with batch sizes, timeout values, the Bulk API, and other performance-optimizing techniques.
question
What is deferred sharing maintenance?
answer
Instead of processing separate updates and waiting for them to complete, the admin "turns off" processing of group maintenance operations and makes all the desired changes at the same time. Once the changes have been completed, the admin resumes processing group maintenance, and the system performs a recalculation to make the role and group changes take effect. The system then requires a full recalculation of sharing rules, which can be set to take place immediately or to start at a later time.
question
Who can benefit from deferred sharing?
answer
Company's that can negotiate downtime with customers and have struggled to complete updates in a timely fashion.
question
What are the key advantages of granular locking?
answer
1) Groups that are in separate hierarchies can be manipulated concurrently 2) Public groups and roles that do not include territories can be manipulated concurrently 3) Users can be added concurrently to territories and public groups 4) User provisioning can occur in parallel 5) A single-long running process, such as a role delete, only blocks a small subset of operations
question
What is granular locking?
answer
The system employs additional logic to allow multiple updates to proceed simultaneously if there is no hierarchical or other relationship between the roles or groups involved
question
Who can benefit from granular locking?
answer
Customers who frequently experience locking that restricts their ability to manage manual and automated group maintenance operations.
question
Which activities take out group membership locks during their transaction?
answer
1) Role Creation 2) Role Deletion 3) Moving a role in the hierarchy 4) Adding a user to a territory 5) Removing a user from a territory 6) Moving a territory in the hierarchy 7) Territory deletion 8) Territory creation 9) Provisioning an internal user with an existing role 10) User role change 11) Provisioning a non-HVPU portal user under an account 12) Portal Account owner change 13) User Role change of a user who owns one or more portal accounts
question
What information can you review at trust.salesforce.com?
answer
1) Current and archived history of system status and performance metrics 2) Planned upgrades and maintenance windows 3) System performance incidents, including why and methods for preventing future incidents
question
How does Force.com validate a user has permission to access an org when the user establishes a connection?
answer
1) Force.com assigns the session a client has value 2) Force.com confirms that the user context (the org ID) accompanies each application request 3) When data is returned, Force.com confirms that the data is coming from the user context
