A user with a restricted role runs a custom search with the Run Unrestricted box marked. What access will the user have to the search results?

The "Run Unrestricted" option on a saved search is designed to bypass role-based data restrictions (such as subsidiary, department, or class) when the search is executed. This allows a user with a restricted role to see a complete set of results that would otherwise be filtered. However, this capability is limited to viewing the data within the search results grid only. It does not grant the user any additional permissions, such as the ability to edit the records or to drill down to view the underlying record pages if those records fall outside their role's normal restrictions.

A. None: This is incorrect because the specific purpose of the "Run Unrestricted" feature is to provide the user with access to search results they would normally not see.
B. Edit access to resulting records: This is incorrect. The feature does not override the fundamental permissions of the user's role; it only bypasses data restrictions for viewing search results.
C. Edit access to the search results: This is incorrect. Similar to option B, the user's ability to edit is governed by their role's permissions, not by the "Run Unrestricted" search setting.
E. View access to the underlying detail from summary: This is incorrect. A key limitation of this feature is that it does not allow users to drill down and view the underlying record forms for results that are outside their role's restrictions. ---

Quote: "When you check the Run Unrestricted box on a saved search page, the search returns all matching records, regardless of the restrictions that apply to the role of the user running the search... Note that this option only enables users to see the search results. It does not enable them to drill down to view the records for which they do not have permission." This directly supports that access is for viewing search results (D) and explicitly refutes the ability to drill down (E).

Section: Saved Search Page Fields.

Quote: Under the description for the "Run Unrestricted" checkbox, it states: "Check this box to have this search return all results, regardless of user role restrictions." This confirms the function is to show results that are normally restricted, making option D the correct outcome. It makes no mention of granting edit or drill-down capabilities, thereby invalidating options B, C, and E.
