ServiceNow Things to Know 104: field level ACLs

[PrashantLearnIT]

Hello Everyone,

Tired of writing hundreds of field level ACLs on a table to control access?

Here is the solution: By using special variable root_rule we can achieve this. root_rule stores all field names as value which you can use for building conditions as per your need.

Step 1. Write only one table.* ACL.

Step 2. Use special variable “root_rule” to access all the fields from that table in ACL Script. Sample below.

Var columnName = root_rule.split(‘.’)[1];    //root_rule automatically picks up all the columns from the current ACL as tableName.columnName

Step 3. Now, use columnName variable defined in Step 2 to control the access like below.

If(columnName.indexOf(‘<fieldname>’)) answer = false;

Else answer = true;
