Hi

We have a requirement like this,

We want to hide the Work notes field in the activity log only for Non ITIL Users , While the Additional comments will still be visible for them, Is this possible ? What does the Lock icon on the Work notes in Activity Log Signifies? Are there any properties related to this ?

Out of the box, there is an ACL on task.work_notes that restricts read access to users with the itil role. The way the activity log works, a user can only see data from fields that they have access to read.

So in your example, non-itil users should not see work notes in the activity log out of the box. Are you seeing different behavior?

Hi Mike,

Thank you so much for your help. There was some Customization error in the Access Control which you have mentioned. I have corrected it now and it is working as expected. Thank you again

Hello!!
I have rolled out Problem Management this weekend and now have issue with Work Notes on Incidents being seen by Non-ITIL users. I have removed work_notes from the Incident Activity view and of course ITIL users no longer see work_notes. I have see discussion about out of box ACL task.work_notes but can not find it. I assume that this ACL will fix my issue but it is not there. Any thoughts?

I would see if a custom ACL for task.work_notes has been created. Look to see if that ACL has a Condition and or a script.
