Access Control Rules (ACLs)in ServiceNow define security rules thatcontrol user permissionsforviewing, creating, updating, and deletingrecords in the system. These rules ensure that users can onlysee and interact with the data they are authorized to access.
D. Access Control Rules
ACLsdefine security restrictionsat thefield, table, and record level.
These rules useconditions, scripts, and role-based permissionsto enforce security.
Example: A user with theitilrole may view incidents, but only users with theadminrole can delete them.
A. Role Assignment Rules
ServiceNowassigns roles to users, butroles alone do not define security rules.
ACLs controlwhat users can do, whilerolesonly grant potential access.
B. CRUD Rules
CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)definespermission types, butnot security rules.
ACLs enforce CRUD operations based on roles and conditions.
C. Scripted User Rules
No such term as"Scripted User Rules"in ServiceNow security.
Possibly confused withScripted ACLs, which are part of Access Control Rules.
E. User Authentication Rules
Authentication rules controluser login mechanisms(LDAP, SSO, OAuth) but donot define access to data.
ACLs managedata security, while authentication ensuresusers are who they claim to be.
