Cannot view "sys_created_by" on the sp_log list?

[xiaix]

I tried every which way to show sys_created_by as a column on the sys_log list.  To no avail.

First, when I click on the gear for "Personalize List", I don't even see sys_created_by as an option:

Ok, let me try to force feed it on the sys_ui_list record:

Welp, even that didn't work 😞

Here's the messed up part... I can query it in a background script:

So, it's there... so why can't I get it to show on the list view??

This happens because of ACL created on sp_log.sys_created_by.

There is OOB ACL to do restrict the read operation

https://<instancename>.service-now.com/sys_security_acl.do?sys_id=6aec9a655302111066c1ddeeff7b1288

This is meant to be not seen by any body including admin (admin override is false).

Try modifying it as per need

I have just tested by modifying this ACL on my PDI.

I have added admin overrides and removed nobody role from ACL, then I started seeing the field sys_created_by in XML and list view.

You, my friend, are genius.  🙂  Thank you.

Glad it worked for you and I was useful.

Happy Learning!
