After a Solution Architect presents the Salesforce User Attribute Chart, the project owner has someconcerns...

In addressing the concerns about role hierarchy and licensing for the executive assistant and CEO, the following explanations are provided:

B. The CEO should have a Sales Cloud license given that the role is a processor of information and should be at the top of the Role Hierarchy. A Sales Cloud license provides the CEO with full access to the necessary data and functionalities to oversee and make informed decisions. Being at the top of the Role Hierarchy ensures access to all relevant data across the organization.

C. The Role Hierarchy should mirror the organization chart. Therefore, sharing settings need to be put in place for the executive assistant given the need to have access to the data of all of the VPs being supported. This approach maintains the organizational structure within Salesforce and uses sharing settings to grant the executive assistant appropriate access levels, ensuring data visibility across the VPs without disrupting the hierarchy.

Salesforce's documentation on licensing options and role hierarchy provides guidance on configuring access and visibility in a way that aligns with organizational structures and roles, ensuring efficient and secure data management.
