What do the permissions on a record depend on?

A combination of object, field, and record-level permissions
Only profile settings
The status of the record

The correct answer is: A combination of object, field, and record-level permissions

The permissions on a record in Salesforce are determined by a combination of object, field, and record-level permissions. Object-level permissions dictate what operations users can perform on the object as a whole, such as create, read, edit, or delete records. Field-level security controls access to specific fields within those records, ensuring that sensitive information is protected and only visible to authorized users. Record-level permissions, typically governed by sharing rules, determine access to individual records based on ownership or other criteria. Together, these three layers of permission settings create a comprehensive security model that allows for fine-tuned control over who can see or manipulate data in Salesforce. This multi-faceted approach to permissions ensures that users only have access to the data necessary for their roles while protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access.
