When would you use restriction rules?

Direct Answer

I would use restriction rules when users already have broad access from the main sharing model but still need narrower record visibility for a specific business boundary.

Detailed Explanation

A strong answer shows that restriction rules are not the first tool in the chain. They are used after the main model grants access and help refine what records remain visible.

Why the Interviewer Asks This

Weak Answer Warning

A weak answer says restriction rules are just another way to grant access.

Stronger Answer Direction

Explain that they narrow visibility rather than opening it.
