Q1 : Sales Ops administrator created an opportunity list view and she wants to share it with one of the sales managers, but she is not able to see an option on how to share this list view. How can Salesforce admin resolve this issue?
A. Salesforce admin needs to make sure that the Sales Ops profile has created and customize list view permission
B. Salesforce admin needs to make sure that private view permission set is assigned to Sales Ops
C. Salesforce admin needs to make sure that the Sales Ops has read and write permissions on the account object
D. Salesforce admin needs to make sure that the Sales Ops admin has managed public list views permission
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
As a Salesforce admin or a user, with the Manage Public List View permission, you can hide the list view, so only you can see it. Open the list view. Select Visible to certain groups of users. Choose the type of group or role from the dropdown list, select the group or role from the list, then click Add. Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, and Developer Edition users can give access to a public group or role, including all users below that role. List views are visible to your community users with Customer Community Plus, Partner Community, Lightning Platform Starter, and Lightning Platform Plus licenses, if Visible to all users setting is enabled for views of objects in community user profiles. To make list views visible only to your Salesforce users, select Visible to certain groups of users. Then share the view with the All Internal Users group or a selected set of internal groups and roles.
Option A is incorrect because create and customize view permission will allow you to edit list views only and it doesn’t have give the permission to share it
Option B is incorrect because private view permission doesn’t exist.
Option C is incorrect because the permissions on an object are different than list view permissions.
