What is true about the default context for record-triggered flows?

Record-triggered flows are designed to automatically execute when a specific record is created or updated in Salesforce. The correct aspect of these flows is that they run in system context without sharing by default. This means that the flow has access to all records regardless of the user permissions and sharing rules set within the organization. This feature ensures that the flow can perform its operations effectively, executing defined processes without being constrained by user-based security settings.

The reasoning behind this default setting is to enable background processes and automation tasks that may require comprehensive access to data for updating or managing records as needed. By functioning in system context, these flows can bypass the sharing rules that would typically limit a user’s access to specific records based on their profile or roles.

This capability is particularly useful when the flow needs to perform tasks like updating related records, handling exceptions, or executing actions that shouldn't be restricted based on the user's visibility and access level in the Salesforce environment.
