Question 2 of 10
2. Question
Universal Container has a custom object named Feedback which is used to capture Users’ candid comments about their experiences at work. The sales team manager and all representatives have roles in the role hierarchy with sales representatives directly under the sales team manager. HR requires that all Feedback records be private to each User. Managers should not have access to subordinates’ Feedback records. What action should an Administrator take to ensure this requirement is met?

If you disable the Grant Access Using Hierarchies option, sharing with a role or territory and subordinates only shares with the users directly associated with the role or territory selected. Users in roles or territories above them in the hierarchies will not gain access.

Question 8 of 10
8. Question
How can a System Administrator restrict users from viewing certain fields in list views, searches, page layouts and reports?
Correct
The key point here is: “restrict users from viewing certain fields in list views, searches and reports” – simply removing the field in the page layout or profile doesn’t restrict users searching it. We have to use field-level security to make sure the field is removed thoroughly, and in this way, users cannot find it in list view, searches, and reports.

Mattia Panerotti –
These practice tests not only helped me in clearing the exam but also helped me in understanding core concepts. Very well crafted questions and explanations. Cleared my exam
Jaola Makr –
I found the practice exams very helpful as it covered a wide area and I was able to identify areas where I lacked in knowledge. I managed to pass with 95.8%. Its going to bug me forever to know where I lost some points.
krishna kalangi –
hi there, i have just read few basic concepts but used skillcertpro dumps to clear my exams, 40 to 50% questions came from skillpro.
Renjith Kumar –
Cleared this certification last week. While some of the questions were slightly twisted, these mock tests definitely covers important topics from exam perspective.
Akshay –
I passed the Salesforce Certified Administrator exam. These practice tests were extremely useful. All the questions are carefully drafted along with detailed explanation for all questions.
Anup Narayan –
I passed the exam today morning. Awaiting the final score report.
Thank you Skillcertpro for creating this excellent set of practice exams. I took each practice test twice to gain confidence. The structure of the questions in these practice exams is very similar to the exam questions.
These practice tests prove that having knowledge alone is not sufficient. You must learn to interpret each question precisely.
I highly recommend these tests to any aspiring candidate.
Subhash T –
I passed this exam because of practicing the Skillcertpro SF admin practice tests only. Thank you Skillcertpro for creating this set of practice tests.
Dont stick with the question and answers only that provided here. Try to understand those concepts is very important. You may get the same questions but there will be slight twist in the options. So practice these test by understanding those concepts clearly.
I will recommend others to go through these tests before attempting the final exam.
Thanks to the Skillcertpro team again.
Raman Deep –
This is brilliant test set. Passed the exam after going through all tests! Worth the money. I have bought next set for another exam. Thanks Heaps.
Wildre Wood –
Even after preparing for the exam, these test papers are the necessary ingredient to the recipe of passing the exam. And the key of these test questions are explanation part. A MUST practice test series for passing the exam.
Zubeir Ahmed –
Really valuable practice exams that cover all vital insights to achieve the Salesforce administrator certification, my sincere thanks to skillcertpro for the great endeavor imbued.
Yung Cheng –
Completely worth it. I passed the exam with the help of these questions. The Salesforce exam has so many trivia questions that you would never get just going over through the trailhead modules. (I failed the first time before I bought these practice tests). These questions fill in all the gaps and help expand your knowledge. The first 14 tests are great the last 3 I think are for the 2nd level administrator exam because they are on a whole other level. I doubt they should be put together.
Guoyuan Yao –
Thanks skillcertpro for the excellent practice questions, this helped me pass Salesforce Certified Administrator exam and most importantly it helped me to tackle real exam and mentally prepare myself to sit for a long stretch of 2 hours and at the end your reference to why the answered options were wrong helped me gain more in-depth knowledge. Again thanks for this course.
Martin Byrne –
This is the best place to evaluate Salesforce admin knowledge, just not for beginner but also for experts. The explanation provided is SUPER DUPER and i would give an extra star for that effort. Thank you so much for the course. Passed.
Arbindo Najim –
I recently passed the exam. This course is really good. It covers all most all of the topics that require to pass the Salesforce admin cert Exam. You cannot expect to have the same exact questions on the exam. But, the explanation after doing the review of the practice questions is what helps to understand the terms in detail. I retook each practice questions twice and read the terms thoroughly before sitting for the exam.
Jimmy Chin –
The questions were appropriate and the explanations at the end along with the recommended reference material were really useful. I nailed the exam after going through these tests a few times.
Ifueko Odia –
Excellent practice tests. An eye opener for me. I learnt a lot of topics going through these tests. The explanations for each option, why is it correct and why is it wrong are excellent. Never saw such detailed explanations with proper links. A must for Salesforce certified admin certification preparation.
Kirshore Negi –
Very well structured set of questions in each of these sample tests. It was quite similar in difficulty to the questions that I faced in the actual certification exam. Provided a great hand-on experience in how one should go about choosing answers in the multi-choice, as many questions in the actual exam have tricky choices. I would greatly recommend these tests for anyone wishing to take the Salesforce admin certification. The recommendation to retake the exams till we achieve 80% consistently was spot on!
Curious –
I found the practice exams very helpful as it covered a all aspects.
Viktorija Jaroševič –
