Salesforce Architect Exams Sharing-and-Visibility-Architect Question # 17 Topic 2 Discussion

Role Hierarchy and Sharing Rules:

Role Hierarchy grants access vertically within a hierarchy but not across different branches of the hierarchy.

Sharing Rules are required to share records horizontally, such as between segments or regions.

Why Option A is Correct:

An owner-based sharing rule can share records owned by users in the same segment to sales managers in other regions.

Why Others Are Incorrect:

Option B: Public groups cannot directly address the requirement unless sharing rules or permissions are also configured.

Option C: Changing the Role Hierarchy to merge U.S. and Canada sales managers undermines hierarchical data access control.
