Salesforce Sharing and Visibility Certification Practice Exam

Apex Managed Sharing is typically used when there is a need to share records dynamically with specific users or groups based on complex business logic that cannot be easily handled through standard sharing rules or configurations. This is particularly useful in scenarios where the sharing criteria may depend on runtime information or when conditions for sharing are more intricate than what can be defined in the standard user interface.

For instance, an organization may want to share sensitive financial data with users in specific roles or departments, but only under certain conditions such as a user performing a specific action or meeting a particular criterion. Using Apex Managed Sharing, developers can programmatically control record access based on the defined logic, ensuring that the right users have access to the right information at the right time.

The other options do not align with the core purpose of Apex Managed Sharing. Public visibility of records, sharing with all users, or disabling sharing for a selected group do not highlight the need for dynamic or person-specific sharing capabilities that Apex Managed Sharing uniquely addresses.
