The consultant should configure a security setting to create a Program Plan sharing rule to provide Read access based on record type for the system admin who wants to use the recommended setup for external users when implementing Student Success Hub and Pathways in a new org for the Undergraduate Advising department. A sharing rule is a security setting that allows users to extend sharing access to users in public groups, roles, or territories. A Program Plan sharing rule can help the system admin provide Read access to external users based on record type by granting access to specific Program Plan records that are relevant or appropriate for external users, such as students or advisors. Creating an Account sharing rule to provide Read access based on record type, changing the default Program Plan sharing setting to Private, or creating a custom Permission Set for external users are not security settings that the consultant should configure for the system admin who wants to use the recommended setup for external users when implementing Student Success Hub and Pathways in a new org for the Undergraduate Advising department.
