When using Lightning Data Service (LDS) in a Lightning Web Component (LWC), it's important to understand how data security is handled.
Option D: Lightning Data Service handles sharing rules and field-level security.
Correct Statement.
Lightning Data Service enforces all the security and sharing rules that are in place in the Salesforce org.
This includes object-level, field-level, and record-level security.
When a component uses LDS to access data, the framework ensures that the user only sees data they have access to.
Benefits:
Simplifies development by abstracting security checks.
Ensures compliance with organizational security policies.
The isAccessible(), isCreateable(), and similar methods are used in Apex to check field-level security.
In LWC, when using LDS, these checks are handled automatically.
LDS enforces field-level security; it does not ignore it.
Users cannot see fields they do not have access to.
Option C: The with sharing keyword must be used to enforce sharing rules.
Not Applicable in LWC.
The with sharing keyword is used in Apex classes to enforce sharing rules.
It is not used in JavaScript code or LWC components.
