Hi All,

 

I recently came across the Data Filtrations module in ServiceNow. I'm wondering if ACL's with scripts can be replaced by Data Filtration, or if the script part of the ACL's, Including those using Script Includes, can be substituted with Data Filtration.

Can the Below ACL Scripts Substituted by Conditional Logic through Data Filtration ?

Has anyone worked with this module and can share their experiences or suggestions? Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Community Alums .

 

Most regulatory auditors do not permit the use of scripting to protect data (like in ACLs). Data Filtration solves this problem because it defines access declaratively, allowing us to define read access to records based on conditional logic rather than scripts.

 

Data Filtration is used to control access to tables and records based on subject criteria attributes when performing Read queries.

In 1st script, Script include is used how can we implement that in Conditional logic 

Can these ACLs 1st & 2nd Scripts replace by conditional logic in Data Filtration?

 

Thanks for replying
