How we can disable delete operation in all of the servicenow tables

[Shreya Nagar Na]

Updating the role as an admin for all delete operations in the ACL is possible, but it is not a straightforward approach. Is there a simpler way to ensure that only admin can delete records from all tables?

1. Only admin can delete record no one else can delete any record in any table .

2. Its a global change not limited to any specific table .

• Navigate to System Security > Access Control (ACL).
• Click New.
• Fill in the following:
  • Type: Record
  • Operation: delete
  • Admin Overrides: check this box
  • Name: * (This means "any table," but you can give it a more descriptive name if you prefer)
  • Role: (Leave blank, this will apply to any non-admin role)
  • write below script

answer = false;

if (gs.hasRole('admin')){

 answer = true;

 }

Hi there,

Please do understand the consequenses of such, and that you definitely NOT want to do this. There are numerous operations where non-admin users should be able to have delete rights. From simple actions like deleting Favorites to more complex things like many-to-many records on Task records.

So definitely DON'T go this road. You don't want to do this at all!
