What permission is required for users to view an object that is marked as "In Development"?

  1. View All

  2. Delete All

  3. Customize Application

  4. Modify All

The correct answer is: Customize Application

To view an object marked as "In Development" within Salesforce, the user requires the "Customize Application" permission. This permission grants users the ability to manage custom applications, which includes the ability to view and interact with objects that are still under development. The "In Development" status indicates that the object is not yet fully deployed for production use, and mere visibility permissions like "View All" or "Modify All" do not suffice, as they pertain to existing functional objects and records. The "Delete All" permission is unrelated to viewing objects and more associated with the ability to remove records, so it does not provide any visibility rights. Thus, the "Customize Application" permission specifically facilitates access to developmental aspects of Salesforce, allowing users to view, create, and manage objects before they go live.
