This is not any business requirement but I was once asked in an interview.

How can we make end Users access to see all the incidents.

No still end User didn't have read access.

I have done below changes.

1. Made BR "incident query" Inactive.

2. Made Read ACL on incident Inactive.

Opened Incident using Admin & impersonated as Abel Tutor and checked. But couldn't see the details.

 

This is the answer I would be looking out for in an interview.
It shows an understanding of the tool beyond technical, great answer.

Tweaking ACLs is often inadvisable as such deviations from OOTB have the potential of breaking upgrades/patches or being  broken by them.
A possibility (in 2025) is to grant users the 'business_stakeholder' user role. 

In real life you would want to couple this with giving them a friendly UI such as SOW and perhaps clamp down on other objects they could see (Changes, Problems etc etc) via ACLs.
