Who can view a PDF that is uploaded to the Files Home private library by...

A PDF stored in a private library is intended to remain private to the file owner until it is deliberately shared or published through another supported context. Salesforce Files does not automatically use the ordinary business-record role hierarchy to expose a private file to managers above the owner. The private-library boundary therefore differs from standard object sharing, where role hierarchy can provide upward access. If collaboration is required, the user should share the file with the appropriate people, group, record, or library rather than relying on hierarchy inheritance. This question tests the fact that file visibility has its own security model and should be evaluated separately from record-level OWD and role hierarchy. The organization should also avoid granting broad system permissions merely to solve an individual file-sharing requirement.
