Salesforce Certified Associate Practice Exam

The ability to create and edit sharing rules in Salesforce is specifically assigned to System Administrators. System Administrators have full access to configure all aspects of the Salesforce environment, including setting up sharing rules that control the organizational data access based on users, roles, or groups. These sharing rules can play a critical role in defining how sensitive data is shared within the organization, thus making the permission to create or modify them a significant responsibility of the System Administrator role.

Delegated Administrators may have some administrative rights but they do not have the same comprehensive permissions as System Administrators when it comes to sharing rules. Standard users typically work within the permissions allocated to them and are limited in their capability to edit configuration aspects such as sharing rules. Public groups are used to organize users for sharing purposes but do not possess the ability to create or modify rules themselves. Therefore, only System Administrators hold the authority to directly manage and edit sharing rules within Salesforce.
