Salesforce Sharing and Visibility Designer Certification — My Experience

Recently I have cleared Salesforce Sharing and Visibility Designer Certification, my first certification on Salesforce new Architect track.

The Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Designer credential is designed for those who assess the architecture environment and requirements and design sound, scalable, and high-performing technical solutions on the Force.com platform that meet sharing and visibility security requirements. Candidates should have experience communicating solutions and design trade-offs to businesses and IT stakeholders.

Exam Outline

• 60 multiple-choice/multiple-select questions* (2–5 unscored questions may be added)

• 68% is the passing score
• No prerequisites; however, we recommend the training and materials available for the free resource guide for this domain speciality

My Experience

This is really a good Salesforce certification exam so far, The exam mostly focuses on Profiles, Roles, OWD, Sharing Rules, Salesforce licenses, Permission Sets, Apex Managed Sharing, Record Locking related issues, Territory Management, Communities, Account & Opportunity Teams. If you have work on these topics than it is very easy to clear this one.
