Q: 7
A banking company wants their customers Date of Birth Field searchable by Banking Reps, but only editable by Customer Support Reps. Which approach is recommended to meet this requirement?

Option B worked for me in a similar use case during a mock. Field Level Security lets you make the Date of Birth field visible and editable for Customer Support, but only visible (read-only) for Banking Reps, so they can search it but not update it. I think that's what Salesforce recommends here. Agree?
Nah, not A-validation rules won't grant search access. B makes more sense for FLS control.
Makes sense, I'd pick B.

Option B, but I'm kinda torn since C mentions search layout and the question says "searchable." Not 100 percent sure here.
B here, C trips people up but doesn't enforce edit restriction. FLS covers both the readonly and editable needs, yeah?
B , setting FLS for read-only vs edit is classic for this use case. Official guides and hands-on org setups mention this approach often.
B tbh, Field Level Security lets you give Banking Reps read-only and Customer Support Reps edit access to that field. C doesn't truly restrict editing for Banking Reps. Pretty sure that's what a real scenario would use, but open to counterpoints.
C or B, depends if Search layout config is treated as required for the searchability part.
That search aspect is a bit tricky. Even if Banking Reps have read-only FLS via B, the field must also be included in the Search Layout for them to actually find it by searching. But C doesn't restrict edit access, so overall B is still right, just keep in mind there's a minor search config dependency. Pretty sure that's what Salesforce expects.
Be respectful. No spam.
