Make Automatic Exceptions with Sharing Rules | Salesforce Exam ADX-201

A.

The statement "With sharing rules one can make automatic exceptions to the organization-wide default for defined sets of users" is true.

Sharing rules are a powerful feature of Salesforce that allow you to extend access to records beyond the organization-wide defaults. By default, Salesforce uses the most restrictive access level for each user to a record based on the organization-wide default settings. However, in some cases, you may want to grant access to specific users or groups of users to certain records that they would not otherwise have access to. This is where sharing rules come in.

Sharing rules allow you to define exceptions to the organization-wide default settings for certain users or groups of users. With sharing rules, you can specify the conditions under which users or groups of users are granted access to records that they would not otherwise have access to. For example, you can create a sharing rule that allows members of a specific group to view and edit all records related to a certain account.

Sharing rules can be based on different criteria, such as record ownership, record attributes, or hierarchies. When a sharing rule is created, it is evaluated whenever a user attempts to access a record. If the criteria specified in the sharing rule are met, the user is granted access to the record.

In conclusion, sharing rules can indeed make automatic exceptions to the organization-wide default settings for defined sets of users or groups of users. By using sharing rules, you can extend access to specific users or groups of users to records that they would not otherwise have access to, based on specific criteria.
