Cumulus Financial segregates its sales CRM data based on Region for its Data Cloud users. Multiple data spaces are configured: a default space and…

In Salesforce Data Cloud, access to data segregated by data spaces is controlled through permission sets, not profiles. Each data space is associated with a specific permission set. To grant a user access to the data within a particular data space, an administrator must assign the corresponding permission set to that user. In this scenario, the EMEA sales reps lack the permission set linked to the APAC data space, which prevents them from visualizing APAC data. The fact that APAC reps can see their own data confirms the APAC data space itself is configured correctly.

A. Profiles are not used to grant access to data spaces; this is managed exclusively by permission sets.

B. The APAC data space must be associated with a permission set, otherwise, no one, including APAC reps, could access its data.

C. The APAC data space must be associated with a permission set, not a profile, for user access control.
