What is the practical advantage of assigning permissions through groups rather than to individual users?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You just change the membership, not twenty permission sets. That keeps access tied to the team and makes the current state readable at a glance.
Full Explanation
Assigning permissions through groups scales with the organisation, keeps individual accounts intact for attribution, and makes it possible to see what a team can do without inspecting each member. Access follows team membership, so a person joining or leaving a team is handled by one change rather than by editing many individual permission sets.
The claim that group permissions bypass the audit log is incorrect because group actions are still audited per user.
The claim that groups allow a single credential to be shared safely among team members is incorrect because groups are the alternative to sharing credentials, not a way to make sharing safe.
The claim that only group-based permissions can be applied to dashboards is incorrect because permissions can apply to individuals too; groups are simply more maintainable.
For the exam, justify groups by maintainability while keeping per-user accountability.
