Hi @kumkumr,
strange this get kudoed so fast after posting for a question from 2022 :)))))
it's a but inaccurate and I believe that your AI tool forgot to mention that security admin is required and for the wildcard, are you sure it's that simple? ;)) There's step 2, 3 and step 4, what is the steps 1? :)))
Can you vouch for the content you share? i'was it written by you or source is missing...?
Thanks for your answer.

- Admins have a Delete ACL that grants access to delete all records.
- Admins have a Read ACL that grants access to all records.
- Users have a Read ACL that grants access to only their own records, or those records of Users for which they are a Manager.
- Admins have a Write ACL that grants access to all records.
- Admins have a single field level Write ACL to prevent others from updating that field.
- Users have a WRITE ACL that grants access to records of Users for which they are a Manager (but not their own).
