ACL execution Order

[tkalpa005]

Hi All,

 I have found one changes in docs regrading ACL execution order in london and Helsinki

Helsinki :

Record ACL rules are processed in the following order:

• Match the object against field ACL rules.
• Match the object against table ACL rules

Docs Link : https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/helsinki-platform-administration/page/administer/contextual-security/concept/c_ProcessOrderForRecordACLRules.html

London:

Record ACL rules are processed in the following order:

• Match the object against table ACL rules.
• Match the object against field ACL rules.

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-platform-administration/page/administer/contextual-security/concept/acl-rule-types.html

Is there any changes in ACL execution order and ACL engine ?

Thanks

I think it has always been table then field.  If you look at the Helsinki document and see the diagram, it is table then field.  I think the text at the top was an error in the doc.

The diagrams are the same in both docs.

I would agree with Jeff, here. You can leave feedback on those docs pages that the documentation team will look at, so I would point out the discrepancy. I would imagine if the ACL evaluation order actually changed, there would be a large impact to customers' existing ACLs.
