,Salesforce Administrator Certification Practice Exam
1. A user is unable to see a new custom object tab that was just created. What is the most likely cause?
A. The object is not deployed.
B. The user's profile does not have permission to the tab.
C. The tab is not included in the user's Lightning App.
D. The object's sharing model is set to Private.
Answer: B
Rationale: Tab visibility is controlled at the profile (or permission set) level. Even if an object is deployed and in
an app, if the profile's tab setting is "Tab Hidden," the user won't see it. While C is a possibility, B is the most
direct and common cause for a specific user not seeing a tab.
2. What is the primary purpose of a Permission Set?
A. To define the baseline permissions for a group of users.
B. To grant additional permissions to users without changing their profile.
C. To restrict login hours for specific users.
,D. To define the organization-wide defaults for an object.
Answer: B
Rationale: Permission Sets are used to grant extra access and permissions to users on top of their profile. A
user can have one profile but multiple permission sets. This follows the principle of least privilege.
3. An administrator needs to ensure that a custom field is required for all users when creating a new record, but
not when editing an existing record. How can this be achieved?
A. Make the field required on the page layout.
B. Make the field required on the field definition.
C. Use a validation rule.
D. Use a formula field.
Answer: A
Rationale: Making a field required on the page layout enforces the requirement only at the UI level for new
record creation and editing (depending on the layout settings). Making it required on the field definition (B)
makes it required for all API and UI operations. A validation rule (C) can also work, but it would require a formula
to check if the record is new, which is more complex than a simple page layout setting.
, 4. Which feature allows an administrator to automatically assign a lead to the correct sales representative based
on the lead's state?
A. Assignment Rules
B. Escalation Rules
C. Validation Rules
D. Workflow Rules
Answer: A
Rationale: Lead Assignment Rules are specifically designed to automatically assign leads to users or queues
based on criteria like state, country, or product interest. Escalation rules (B) are for cases, and workflow rules
(D) can't directly assign records (they would need to trigger a flow or a process).
5. What is the function of a Roll-Up Summary field?
A. To perform calculations on a single record.
B. To display a value from a child record on a parent record.
C. To calculate values on a set of related child records and display the result on the parent record.
D. To create a summary report of all records in an object.
Answer: C
