CSA question: When a custom table is created, which access control rules are automatically created?

So here is the study question: 

When a custom table is created, which access control rules are automatically created? (Choose four.)

A. create

B. delete

C. execute

D. update

E. read

F. write

 

Based on my recent training and research from my Xanadu PDI, I'm thinking it is: A. create, B. delete , D. update, and E. read. 

My reasoning is as follows:

When I create a custom table in ServiceNow, the platform automatically generates four default Access Control Rules (ACLs):

  • Create → controls the ability to insert records.

  • Read → controls visibility of records.

  • Update → controls modifying existing records.

  • Delete → controls removal of records.

  • Not correct via: Execute → applies to scripts/UI actions, not tables.

  • Not correct via:  Write → not an ACL type (covered by Update).

My RiseUp notes suggest: 

Remember the acronym CRUD → Create, Read, Update, Delete = the four ACLs automatically created for custom tables

Am I correct or for the CSA is there a different logic?

that's correct.

Create, Read, Write, Delete ACLs are created along with custom table.

Hi @sme4hire,

 

Correct is:

A. create

B. delete

C. execute

D. update

E. read

F. write

 

You can check the ACLs for a custom table:

The execute was created later and it's for script include, so the 4 basic ones are Create, Read, Write, Delete
