What role is required to delete a scrum task in CWM?

Marlon Dale

Trying to delete a scrum task on a CWM board for non admins gives the error message at the top:

Alert level: Critical.

Delete operation against rm_scrum_task from scope sn_cwm has been refused due to the table's cross-scope access policy

So wondering what role is required to delete scrum tasks.

@Marlon Dale This error is appearing due to cross scope permissions and not because of role. Please refer to the article here https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1641480 to address cross scope error.

Hi @Marlon Dale 

 

Try this:

  1. Create a Cross-Scope Privilege
  • Navigate to System Applications > Application Cross-Scope Access ->New in your ServiceNow instance.
    • Target Scope: sn_scrum (or the application that owns rm_scrum_task)
    • Target Name: rm_scrum_task
    • Target Type: Table
    • Operation: Delete
    • Source Scope: sn_cwm
    • Status: Allowed
  • Click Submit

2. Adjust Restricted Caller Access

  • Navigate to System Security > Restricted Caller Access.
  • Filter the list using :
    • [Source Scope] = sn_cwm,
    •  [Target Name] = rm_scrum_task,
    • and [Operation] = Delete.
  • If you find a matching record, open it and change its Status from Denied to Allowed.

3. Modify Table-Level Application Access

  • Navigate to System Definition > Tables and search for rm_scrum_task.
  • Open the record and look for the Application Access tab.
  • Ensure the Can delete checkbox is checked.
