Account Reviewer Profile

This Trailhead: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/modules/data_security/units/data_security_objects says to remove all permissions except Read from Account, which I am trying to do but Contacts keeps automatically checking when I check Account permissions.  Is there something I'm missing?

Hi Josh,

Account and Contact share Master-Detail relation - Account being the master.
The child object inherits the sharing settings of the parent. 

If you navigate to Setup -> Security Controls -> Sharing Settings you'll see the sharing setting for Contact says "Controlled by Parent".

Additonally here (http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/108889/profile-object-permissions-for-a-detail-record)is a detailed answer to a question of similar sorts.

So if they share a relationship, how can I undo that relationship to fulfill the requirement of this particular Trailhead quiz?

Hi Josh,

I just tried doing this and was able to create a new profile with only Read permission for Account -

I even completed that trailhead challenge..

Strange. I cloned the Read Only profile and the permissions wouldn't allow me to unchecked Contact without Account automatically unchecking. Then if I tried to check Account, it automatically checked Contact. How did you create the profile?

Went to Profiles list view from under "Manage Users" and clicked on "New Profile" choosing "Read Only" as Existing Profile.
