Which Dataverse security concept restricts which records a user can see based on their position in an organization hierarchy?
Answer: Row-level security via owner/team/business unit hierarchy
Dataverse security uses a hierarchy of business units, teams, and record ownership to control which rows a user can read, write, or delete.
What is a Dataverse 'security role'?
Answer: A set of privilege definitions that control what operations a user can perform on tables and records
Security roles define the Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) and other privileges a user has on each table, with scope settings (user, business unit, organization, etc.).
What is 'field-level security' in Dataverse used for?
Answer: Restricting which columns a user can view or edit, independent of table-level access
Field-level security profiles restrict which users can read, create, or update specific columns in a table, adding granular control beyond table-level security roles.
What is a Dataverse 'calculated column'?
Answer: A column whose value is automatically derived by a formula based on other column values in the same row
A calculated column in Dataverse uses a formula to automatically compute its value from other fields in the same record, updated whenever the source fields change.
Which Dataverse feature allows a column to store the sum or count of related child records?
Answer: Rollup column
Rollup columns aggregate data from related child records (e.g., total revenue from all Opportunities on an Account) and recalculate on a scheduled basis.
What is the purpose of Dataverse's 'audit' feature?
Answer: Tracking changes to records and field values for compliance and troubleshooting
Dataverse auditing logs create, update, and delete operations on records, recording the old and new values so changes can be reviewed for compliance or debugging.
