ADM-201 Exam Dumps - Salesforce Certified Platform Administrator (Plat-Admn-201)

A common cause of errors in an Approval Process is a breakdown in the "Approver" chain. If an approval step is configured to route to a specific user or a manager who has been deactivated, Salesforce will throw an error when the current step tries to advance. The Platform Administrator should check the "Next Approver" field on the record or the step definition in Setup to ensure the target user is active and has a valid Salesforce license. While field visibility (Options B and C) is important for the user experience, missing field access typically doesn't "error out" the approval engine itself; it just prevents the user from seeing the data. Checking for inactive users is the first step in troubleshooting runtime errors in automated routing processes.

Profiles in Salesforce serve as the foundation for what a user can "do" with records, specifically defining Object-Level Security (Create, Read, Edit, Delete permissions). The standard Marketing User profile typically does not include full "Edit" access to the Opportunity object by default, as marketing roles are traditionally focused on Leads and Campaigns. To fulfill the requirement of allowing marketers to maintain campaign relationships on Opportunities, the administrator must ensure the profile has the necessary object permissions. If the organization is using a custom profile based on the Marketing User template, the admin should edit the object permissions directly on that profile to include "Read" and "Edit" for Opportunities. This allows the marketers to view the records and update the "Primary Campaign Source" field. While a Permission Set could also grant this access, the question implies the admin is currently configuring the profile itself. Adjusting the profile's object permissions is the direct way to align the user's capabilities with the business's functional requirements.

The Lightning App Builder is the primary tool for creating custom user interfaces in both the desktop and mobile versions of Salesforce. For mobile customization, administrators primarily focus on two page types:

App Page:These are custom "landing pages" or "home pages" for an app. They can contain a mix of components like lists, charts, and flows, and they appear as items in the mobile navigation menu.

Record Page: These allow administrators to customize the layout of a specific object (like an Account or a custom Property record) for mobile users. Admins can use "Component Visibility Rules" to show or hide specific sections when the record is viewed on a mobile device, ensuring a streamlined experience on smaller screens.

There is no such thing as a "User Page" (Option B) in the App Builder. While dashboards can be viewed on mobile, they are created in the Dashboard Builder, not the Lightning App Builder (Option D).

In Salesforce, a many-to-many relationship allows each record of one object to be linked to multiple records of another object and vice versa. This is achieved by using a Junction Object. A junction object is a custom object that sits between the two objects you want to relate. To implement this correctly, the administrator must follow two specific steps: first, create the custom object to serve as the "junction"; second, create two Master-Detail relationship fields on that new junction object. One master-detail field points to the first custom object, and the second points to the other. Because these are master-detail relationships, the junction record's visibility and deletion behavior are controlled by its parents. This structure allows for powerful reporting and roll-up summaries on both parent objects. Using simple lookup relationships (Option D) would not enforce the strict data integrity or the specific roll-up capabilities that define a true many-to-many relationship in the Salesforce architecture.

The Company Information page in the Setup menu is the "source of truth" for an organization's high-level metadata and licensing. In the User Licenses related list on this page, the administrator can see every license type purchased (e.g., Salesforce, Salesforce Platform, Force.com), the total number of seats allocated, the number of seats currently in use, and the number of remaining available licenses. This is the first place an administrator should look for budgeting and capacity planning. "Usage-based entitlements" (Option A) tracks limited-resource features like Login minutes or Data Cloud credits, but not standard seat-based user licenses. Searching for license types (Option B) or checking user management settings (Option D) will not provide a consolidated summary of the total license pool.

In the Agentforce environment, deactivating an agent to make configuration changes (like adding a Topic or Action) does not immediately terminate existing sessions. To ensure a smooth user experience, Salesforce allows ongoing conversations to continue using the version of the agent that was active when the session started. The "deactivation" simply prevents new sessions from being initiated. Once the administrator reactivates the agent, new sessions will utilize the updated configuration, while current users finish their interactions without interruption or "system errors". The window does not automatically close, and the conversation is not "paused" in a way that requires the user to wait for reactivation

According to Agentforce best practices, action instructions must be highly specific regarding the action's purpose, the expected goal, and the conditions under which it should be triggered. Option D is the strongest set of instructions because it defines the Action (Update shipping address), the Goal (Modify address on a record), and a clear Constraint/Guardrail (Only use when the user explicitly requests it). This prevents the AI from accidentally triggering a data change based on a vague inquiry. Option B is also good but more restrictive than necessary unless the business logic specifically forbids updates during active orders. Option D provides the best balance of context and intent, ensuring the Large Language Model (LLM) understands the "why" and "when" of the action.

When a specific user encounters an error that an administrator cannot replicate, the most effective troubleshooting technique is to "Login as" that user. This feature, which must be enabled in the organization's login policies, allows the administrator to see exactly what the user sees and experience the system through their specific profile, role, and sharing permissions22. This is vital for identifying issues related to Validation Rules, Field-Level Security, or Record-Triggered Flows that might only trigger under specific user contexts. Logging in as a system administrator (Option A) is ineffective because administrators often bypass certain restrictions that apply to standard users4. Asking for a password (Option D) is a major security violation and is never required in Salesforce5. By using the "Login as" feature, the admin can pinpoint whether the error is caused by the user's data input or a specific permission conflict assigned to their profile.
