Reasoning
Fixed a typo in the answer where 'implemenation' was corrected to 'implementation' to improve clarity and professionalism. No other changes were needed as the answer appropriately directs users to a comprehensive resource specifically about guest user record access patterns, which is exactly what the question asks for. For security rules selection: - ApexCRUDViolation: This rule is directly relevant because guest user operations require careful CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) permission management. The FAQ discusses applications where guest users modify records, which inherently involves CRUD operations that must be properly validated to avoid security violations. - ApexSharingViolations: This rule applies because guest users have very specific sharing and access restrictions on the Salesforce platform. The FAQ specifically mentions 'respecting platform restrictions' when allowing guest users to modify records, which directly relates to sharing rule violations that this security rule detects.
