I need to configure the functionality where any user in the instance can create the catalog task through flow designer.
Any user means the user without any role also should be able to create the catalog task

Hello @Community Alums ,

 

I do not recommend this practice, as it can lead to security risks and unauthorized task creation. However, if this is a strict client requirement, you can follow these steps:

Solution:

1. Deactivate the OOB create ACL on 'sc_task' table


2. Create ACL for 'sc_task' Table
- Navigate to System Security > Access Control (ACLs).
- Click New to create an ACL.
- Set Type to record and Operation to create.
- Set Name to sc_task.
- In the Requires Role Script, add the following:

 

answer = true;

 

- Save the ACL and test.

 

If this helps resolve your query, please accept the answer and mark it as helpful.

 

Best Regards,

Usually catalog tasks are create only via flow.

why to allow users to create them manually? Not an ideal way

you need to ensure they see New button in related list on RITM form.

So please check the table.None CREATE ACL on sc_task and ensure you add snc_internal role to it

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
