Final answer:
To accomplish the goal, Universal Containers should remove the Delete permission for the Positions object from all user profiles, as profiles define the CRUD permissions within Salesforce or similar CRM systems.
Step-by-step explanation:
To ensure that employees at Universal Containers are able to view and edit records of a custom object called Positions, but cannot delete them, the following steps need to be taken:
- Review and adjust the profiles of users to grant edit and view permissions for the Positions object.
- To prevent deletion of these records, remove the Delete permission for the Positions object from all profiles.
Option 4, removing the Delete permission for positions from all profiles, is the correct method to achieve this goal. The other options either do not specifically address the issue of deletion (Options 1 and 3) or misidentify roles with direct object permissions (Option 2).
By adjusting the profiles, you can control the specific CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) permissions for each object within Salesforce or a similar CRM system.
