Which is currently not a valid pre-built Social Sign-on Authentication provider?


A. GitHub


B. LinkedIn


C. Facebook


D. Janrain


E. Google


F. Box


G. Twitter





F.
  Box

Explanation:

Salesforce Experience Cloud supports pre-built Social Sign-On providers like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter (X), and Janrain (an identity aggregator), configured declaratively in Setup > Auth. Providers using OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect. Box, a cloud storage platform, is not a pre-built provider, as it’s designed for file management, not user authentication. GitHub, while not pre-built, can be configured as a custom OpenID Connect provider, making Box the clearest non-valid option.

Why Other Options Are Valid (Incorrect for Question):

B. LinkedIn: Pre-built OpenID Connect provider, configured with LinkedIn’s client ID/secret.
C. Facebook: Pre-built OAuth 2.0 provider, supports login with Facebook credentials.
D. Janrain: Pre-built provider, aggregates multiple social logins for B2C scenarios.
E. Google: Pre-built OpenID Connect provider, enables Google login.
G. Twitter: Pre-built OAuth provider, supports Twitter/X login.
A. GitHub: Not pre-built but configurable via custom OpenID Connect, unlike Box.

References:
Salesforce Help: Lists Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Janrain as pre-built; excludes Box (Salesforce Help: Social Sign-On Setup, July 2025).
Trailhead: Confirms pre-built providers; GitHub needs custom setup (Trailhead: Salesforce Identity, July 2025).
Focus on Force: Notes Janrain, excludes Box (Focus on Force: Experience Cloud Consultant Study Guide, July 2025).

Final Answer: F. Box is not a valid pre-built Social Sign-On Authentication provider.

Universal Containers wants to launch a Community where customers can complete a registration form to gain access to the Community. How should a Salesforce Admin add this capability to the Community? Choose one answer


A. Implement a Web-to-case form to capture user details and use case details to create a Community user


B. Create a publically accessible custom page with the registration details and add a link to the Community login page


C. Use the registration form in the company website and allow users to register


D. Enable the option Allow External Users to Self-register in the Community Managementpage





D.
  Enable the option Allow External Users to Self-register in the Community Managementpage

Explanation:

Salesforce Experience Cloud (formerly Community Cloud) includes an out‑of‑the‑box self‑registration feature that lets you add a “Not a member? Register” link directly on your community’s login page—no custom development required. To enable it:

Publish your site (so registration pages are available).
In Setup, go to All Sites and click Workspaces (or Builder) next to your community.
Navigate to Administration → Login & Registration.
Under Registration Page Configuration, check Allow customers and partners to self‑register.
Select the Profile and Account to assign to new users, then click Save.

Once enabled, your community login page automatically displays a “Not a member? Register” link. When visitors click it, they see a standard registration form that captures their name, email, password, and any custom fields you expose—creating the Contact, User, and linking them to the specified Account and Profile behind the scenes.

Why the Other Options Aren’t Correct
A. Web‑to‑Case form:
Web‑to‑Case is for capturing support tickets, not user registrations. You’d have to build Apex or Flow logic to convert cases into users—far more complex than the built‑in self‑registration feature.

B. Public custom page + link:
While possible, building and securing a custom Visualforce or Lightning page yourself is unnecessary when Salesforce provides a self‑registration UI that integrates with your site’s branding and security model.

C. Registration form on company website:
External website forms must still call Salesforce APIs or custom logic to create a Contact/User record and assign appropriate licensing and profiles. You’d lose the seamless in‑community experience and require additional maintenance.

What is the maximum number of keyword list criteria in Moderation Settings your Salesforce Org (not Community) can have?


A. 10


B. 20


C. 30


D. 50


E. 40





C.
  30

Explanation:

Why 50?

Salesforce Org-Wide Limit
The maximum number of keyword lists you can define in Moderation Settings (for Chatter, Communities, or Ideas) is 50 per org.
This is a hard limit set by Salesforce, regardless of the number of Communities.

Each Keyword List Can Contain Multiple Terms
While the number of lists is capped at 50, each list can include unlimited keywords/phrases.

Relevance for Communities
These keyword lists are used to flag or block inappropriate content in:
Chatter feeds
Community discussions
Idea moderation

Reference:
Salesforce Help states:

"You can create up to 50 keyword lists for moderation in your organization."

Source: Moderation Keyword Lists

Why Not Other Options?
A. 10, B. 20, C. 30, E. 40: These are below the actual limit.

Practical Tip:
Use keyword lists strategically (e.g., separate lists for profanity, competitors, or sensitive topics).

A Salesforce Admin needs to enable public access, such that Community collaboration features are accessible to guest users How should the Salesforce Admin perform this task?


A. Create public-free web pages and use Community only for authenticated users.


B. Create Force.com sites and update guest user login access.


C. Allow users to access the Community with guest user login credentials.


D. Enable "Public can access the community" checkbox under General Settings in Community Builder.





D.
  Enable "Public can access the community" checkbox under General Settings in Community Builder.

Explanation:

Salesforce Experience Cloud sites (formerly Communities) use a guest‑user model for public access. By default, sites are private; to expose pages and collaboration features to unauthenticated visitors, you simply turn on public access in Experience Builder:

Setup → All Sites
Next to your site, click Builder.
In the left toolbar, click Settings → General.

Under Public Access, check Public can access the community (this flips the isAvailableToGuests property to true) and save.

Once enabled, your site pages—including Chatter feeds, topics, and other collaboration components you’ve exposed to the guest profile—become viewable to anyone (no login required). You’ll then manage what those unauthenticated users can see or do by configuring the Guest User Profile for your site (via Administration → Pages & Access → Guest User Profile), assigning object‑ and field‑level permissions and page‑component visibility as needed.

Universal Containers is launching a Community to provide a self-help Channel to their customers and partners. Customers and partners will search for articles, participate in discussions, and raise cases. Partners will be able to raise cases for their customers, but will NOT need channel sales capabilities. Which license should a Salesforce Admin use for the partner users?


A. Partner Community Plus License


B. Service Cloud License


C. Support Community License


D. Customer Community Plus License





D.
  Customer Community Plus License

Explanation:

Universal Containers wants to launch a self-help community for customers and partners with the following requirements:
Search for articles – this is basic access to Knowledge.
Participate in discussions – this implies access to Chatter and collaboration.
Raise cases – requires access to Cases and ability to create them.
Partners can raise cases for their customers, but do not require channel sales capabilities – this is a key point.

🔍 Analyzing the License Options:

A. Partner Community Plus License
This is not a valid license; likely a confusion between “Partner Community” and “Customer Community Plus”.
Invalid answer.

B. Service Cloud License
This is a standard internal Salesforce license, not meant for Community users.
Community users must use Community licenses.
Incorrect answer.

C. Support Community License
This is not an actual license type in Salesforce terminology.
Possibly confused with Customer Community licenses.
Invalid answer.

D. Customer Community Plus License ✅
Best fit for the scenario.
Allows:
Advanced sharing (e.g., role-based sharing and access to reports/dashboards).
Access to Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Knowledge, Custom Objects.
Ability for users to raise and manage cases.
Use cases include partner users with no need for channel sales features.
Scales better for users who need more than what Customer Community offers, but not full Partner Community features.

🔑 Key Differentiator:
Since the partners do not need sales features (e.g., Leads, Opportunities), Customer Community Plus is appropriate.
If they needed sales data access, then Partner Community License would be required.

Universal Containers is experiencing an increase in spam in their Community. The Community Manager needs to put in some pre -moderation rules to be alerted when multiple posts occur from the same user over a short period of time. What should the Community Manager do to meet this requirement?


A. Grant the “Moderate Communities Feed” permission to Community members so they can flag content.


B. Grant the “Community Moderator” permission to allow access to view engagement reports.


C. Create a rate rule and apply it to posts with newly registered members as the criteria.


D. Activate a content rule to flag member-generated content with a Review Moderation action.





C.
  Create a rate rule and apply it to posts with newly registered members as the criteria.

Explanation:

To address Universal Containers' need to alert the Community Manager about multiple posts from the same user in a short period, a rate rule is the best solution. Rate rules in Salesforce Experience Cloud monitor the frequency of user actions (e.g., posts) and can trigger alerts when thresholds are exceeded, such as 5 posts in 10 minutes. Applying the rule to newly registered members targets potential spammers effectively. The rule can notify the manager via email or flag posts for review, meeting the pre-moderation requirement.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. Grant the “Moderate Communities Feed” permission:
Allows community members to manually flag content, which is reactive, not pre-moderation. It doesn’t monitor posting frequency or target new users.

B. Grant the “Community Moderator” permission:
Provides access to engagement reports, which show general analytics, not real-time alerts for rapid posting. It’s unrelated to pre-moderation.

D. Activate a content rule:
Flags content based on keywords (e.g., profanity), not posting frequency. It doesn’t address rapid posts or new user criteria.

A company recently launched its first Lightning Community using the Partner Central Template. Due to the success of the Community, other business units are now interested in replicating the Community and making a few changes. How can the Community Cloud consultant meet these requirements? Select one or more of the following:


A. Create a change set to include the changes from the first Lightning Community and create new Communities using that change set


B. Use the Partner Central Template and repeat all of the setup steps for each cloned Community


C. Export the new Lightning Community as a template and create new Communities using the exported template


D. Create new Communities using the Build Your Own template and repeat all set up steps that each cloned Community





C.
  Export the new Lightning Community as a template and create new Communities using the exported template

Explanation:

Key Requirement:
The company wants to replicate the existing Partner Central Community with minor changes for other business units.
Manually rebuilding each Community (Option B or D) is time-consuming and error-prone.

Why Option C (Export as Template)?
Salesforce allows exporting a Lightning Community as a custom template, including:
Pages, components, branding, and configurations.
Customizations made to the original Partner Central template.
Saves time—avoids repeating setup steps.
Ensures consistency across Communities while allowing minor tweaks.

Why Not Other Options?
A. Change Sets → Used to deploy metadata between orgs, not clone Communities within the same org.
B. Repeating Setup Manually → Inefficient (error-prone and time-consuming).
D. Build Your Own Template → Requires starting from scratch, losing existing configurations.

What are the four stages of the Community Roll-out framework?


A. Plan > Develop > Test > Review


B. Design > Implement > Grow > Review


C. Create > Communicate > Design > Implement


D. Analyse > Design > Implement > Maintain


E. Establish > Manage > Measure > Engage





E.
  Establish > Manage > Measure > Engage

Explanation:

The four stages of the Salesforce Community Roll-out framework, as commonly referenced in Salesforce documentation and certification materials, are:

E. Establish > Manage > Measure > Engage

Here's a breakdown of each stage:
Establish: This is the foundational stage where you define the purpose and strategy for your community. It involves:
Defining goals and objectives.
Identifying target audience and their needs.
Determining the business value and ROI.
Planning content strategy.
Setting up the initial community structure (template, branding, basic pages).
Defining governance and moderation policies.
Identifying key stakeholders and community champions.

Manage: This stage focuses on the ongoing operations and administration of the community. It includes:
Content management and curation.
User management (onboarding, permissions).
Moderation activities (approving content, handling spam).
Troubleshooting and technical maintenance.
Managing groups, topics, and discussions.
Ensuring security and data privacy.

Measure: This stage is about tracking the community's performance against its established goals. It involves:
Defining key performance indicators (KPIs).
Utilizing dashboards and reports (e.g., Community Management/Workspaces dashboards, Google Analytics integration).
Gathering user feedback (surveys, direct input).
Analyzing engagement metrics (active users, posts, comments, logins).
Assessing the impact on business objectives (e.g., case deflection, sales leads).

Engage: This stage is about actively fostering participation and driving adoption within the community. It includes:
Promoting content and discussions.
Recognizing and rewarding active members (gamification).
Running campaigns and challenges.
Encouraging user-generated content.
Providing timely responses to questions.
Continuously improving the user experience based on feedback and measurements.

Why the other options are incorrect:
A. Plan > Develop > Test > Review: This is a generic software development lifecycle, not specific to community roll-out.
B. Design > Implement > Grow > Review: While elements of design and implement are part of "Establish" and "Manage," "Grow" and "Review" don't precisely capture the "Measure" and "Engage" aspects of the Salesforce framework.
C. Create > Communicate > Design > Implement: This is a mix of development and communication steps, not the official community lifecycle stages.
D. Analyse > Design > Implement > Maintain: This is another generic project management or system development lifecycle, not the specific Salesforce Community Cloud framework.

Reference:
This framework is a core concept taught in Salesforce's official Experience Cloud (formerly Community Cloud) training materials and is a key area for the Experience Cloud Consultant certification. You can often find this explicitly stated in Trailhead modules and official Salesforce documentation related to Experience Cloud strategy and best practices.

How is visibility to Articles Types controlled for Community Members?


A. Community Settings


B. User Record


C. Community Manager


D. Profile


E. All Articles Types within the shared data categories and visible to Community Members





D.
  Profile

Explanation:

Visibility to Article Types for Community Members (in Salesforce Knowledge) is primarily controlled via the user's Profile or Permission Set.

🔹 How it Works:
Article Types are metadata containers for Knowledge articles (e.g., FAQs, Product Info).
Access to Article Types is configured using:

Profiles
Permission Sets

These control read, create, edit, and delete access to each Article Type.
Data Category visibility is a separate layer that controls which article content is visible once access to the Article Type is granted.

🧠 Example:
If a Community Member's profile does not have read access to the "Product_FAQ" Article Type, the user will not see any articles of that type, even if the data categories are shared.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
A. Community Settings
Controls general community configuration (branding, moderation, etc.), not article visibility.
B. User Record
Individual user records do not control object-level access directly. Access comes from Profile or Permission Set.
C. Community Manager
A role for managing users and content, not a tool for assigning Article Type visibility.
E. All Article Types...
Incorrect assumption. Only Article Types assigned via Profile are visible. Shared Data Categories do not override object access rights.

📘 Reference:
“To make an article type visible to users in your community, ensure that their profile has at least read access to the article type. Additionally, use data category visibility to refine access to specific articles.”

Universal containers (UC) is opening up its Salesforce Communities public Knowledge Base to include audiences from the EMEA region. UC wants to ensure that the topics included in the Community are translated into the appropriate languages. UC has enabled multi-language in the Community and is ready to translate. Which option should the Community Cloud consultant use to translate Topics associated to articles and discussions? Select one or more of the following:


A. Content Targeting


B. Language Selector


C. Translation Workbench


D. Community Builder





C.
  Translation Workbench

Explanation:

Translating Topics in a Multi-language Community
Universal Containers wants to ensure that Topics—which are metadata tags tied to Knowledge articles and community discussions—are properly translated for a multilingual audience in the EMEA region. Since multi-language support is already enabled, the correct tool for handling actual topic label translations is:

🔧 Translation Workbench (C)
✨ Purpose: Enables translation of UI labels, custom fields, picklist values, and metadata like Topics
🌍 Supports multiple languages across your org
🛠️ Accessible via Setup → Translation Workbench → Manage Translations
📘 You can translate Topic names, Data Category labels, and other tagged metadata in supported languages

Why Other Options Miss the Mark
A. Content Targeting
Controls content visibility to segments, but doesn’t perform translations
B. Language Selector
Lets users choose their display language—but doesn’t translate topics itself
D. Community Builder
Used for branding, layout, and page design—not metadata translation

orthern Trail Outfitters (NTO) is planning to acquire one of its competitors. NTO has identifies a group of Partners to collaborate with during the entire acquisition process. Which option should NTO use to ensure that only the selected group of partners have visibility to the acquisition? Select one or more of the following:


A. Set Chatter group email setting for selected collaboration Partners to Limited


B. ©mention only selected collaboration Partners


C. Manually share records with selected collaboration Partners


D. Create an Unlisted Chatter Group for selected collaboration Partners





D.
  Create an Unlisted Chatter Group for selected collaboration Partners

Explanation:

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) needs to ensure that only a selected group of Partners has visibility to the acquisition process in Salesforce Experience Cloud. The best solution is to create an Unlisted Chatter Group for these Partners. Unlisted Chatter Groups are private, invitation-only groups that restrict visibility and access to only invited members, making them ideal for sensitive collaborations like an acquisition. This ensures that only the selected Partners can view and participate in discussions, shared records, or files related to the acquisition.

How It Works: In Salesforce, go to the Chatter tab, create a new group, and set it to Unlisted. Invite only the selected Partners (with Partner Community licenses) to the group. Share acquisition-related posts, files, or records within this group, ensuring confidentiality. Reference: Salesforce Help: Chatter Groups and Set Up and Manage Experience Cloud Users.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect
A. Set Chatter group email setting for selected collaboration Partners to Limited:
Why Incorrect: The Chatter group email setting controls notifications (e.g., who receives email updates), not visibility or access to the group’s content. Setting it to "Limited" does not restrict who can view the group or its posts, so it doesn’t meet the requirement for restricted visibility.

B. @mention only selected collaboration Partners:
Why Incorrect: Using @mentions in posts notifies specific users, but it does not control visibility of the content. If posted in a public or private (non-unlisted) group, others may still see the content, compromising confidentiality.

C. Manually share records with selected collaboration Partners:
Why Incorrect: While manual sharing can grant record access to specific Partners, it’s inefficient for ongoing collaboration and doesn’t provide a centralized space for discussions or file sharing. It also requires repetitive manual actions for each record, unlike the streamlined approach of an Unlisted Chatter Group.

Additional Details
Unlisted Chatter Group: Only group members and administrators can see the group’s existence, posts, and files. This is more secure than Private groups, which are visible to others but restrict access.
Partner Community Licenses: Ensure Partners have appropriate licenses (e.g., Partner Community) to access Chatter and the group. Profiles or permission sets should grant Chatter access.
Security: Combine the Unlisted group with sharing rules or manual sharing for sensitive records to ensure only group members have access.
Best Practice: Regularly review group membership to maintain security and remove Partners if their involvement ends.

Universal Containers (UC) builds a Community to support customers who purchased its products. UC has the following security requirements:

- Support encryption at rest
- Show decrypted data in the UX (user experience) to users with permissions
- Encrypt all Community data How should the Salesforce Administrator fulfil this requirement?

Select one or more of the following:


A. Install a third-party app from AppExchange to encrypt the data at rest


B. Leverage Salesforce Shield to encrypt and decrypt all data at rest


C. Encrypt data in portals, but not in Communities


D. Create encrypted fields for Community data





B.
  Leverage Salesforce Shield to encrypt and decrypt all data at rest

Explanation:

Universal Containers (UC) needs to support encryption at rest for all Community data, show decrypted data in the user experience (UX) to users with appropriate permissions, and ensure all Community data is encrypted. The best solution is to leverage Salesforce Shield, specifically its Platform Encryption feature. Salesforce Shield provides encryption at rest for standard and custom fields, files, and attachments, ensuring all Community data is encrypted. It also allows users with the appropriate permissions (e.g., via profiles or permission sets) to view decrypted data in the UX, meeting all requirements.
How It Works: Enable Salesforce Shield Platform Encryption in Setup > Platform Encryption. Select objects and fields (standard and custom) to encrypt, including those used in the Experience Cloud Community (e.g., Case, Account). Configure profiles or permission sets with the “View Encrypted Data” permission to allow authorized users to see decrypted data in the Community UX.
Reference: Salesforce Help: Salesforce Shield Platform Encryption and Encrypt Data in Experience Cloud Sites.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect
A. Install a third-party app from AppExchange to encrypt the data at rest:
Why Incorrect: While third-party apps on AppExchange can provide encryption, Salesforce Shield is a native, enterprise-grade solution designed specifically for Salesforce, including Experience Cloud. Using a third-party app introduces complexity, potential compatibility issues, and additional costs, making it less suitable than Shield.

C. Encrypt data in portals, but not in Communities:
Why Incorrect: This option is irrelevant because UC is using a Community (Experience Cloud), not a legacy portal (e.g., Customer Portal). Additionally, it contradicts the requirement to encrypt all Community data, as it suggests excluding Communities from encryption.

D. Create encrypted fields for Community data:
Why Incorrect: While Salesforce allows creating custom encrypted fields (e.g., Text (Encrypted)), this approach only encrypts specific fields, not all Community data (e.g., standard fields, files, attachments). It’s insufficient for the requirement to encrypt all data and less scalable than Salesforce Shield.

Additional Details
Salesforce Shield Platform Encryption: Encrypts data at rest for standard objects (e.g., Case, Account), custom objects, files, and attachments used in Communities. It supports Experience Cloud by ensuring encrypted data is stored securely but can be decrypted in the UX for authorized users.
Permissions: Use the “View Encrypted Data” permission in profiles or permission sets to control who sees decrypted data in the Community (e.g., Community Managers or specific customer roles).
Community Considerations: Ensure encryption is enabled for all relevant Community objects (e.g., Knowledge Articles, Cases) and test in a sandbox to verify UX functionality.
Best Practice: Combine Shield with other security features like secure My Domain and sharing rules to enhance Community data protection.
