Hello everyone,
I'm having a hard time with this seemingly simple one:
On a catalog item, inside a variable set, I have a list collector variable. It points to service_offering, and has a reference qualifier that point to its parent business service, as well as some other filter.
When looking at this from the desktop version of the catalog, it works well. It's the second one in the image below:
However, on the service portal, its behavior is different: when the same user with no special privileges, just snc_internal role, wants to add values, I get a "No matches found", again second one in the image:
I've tried with a more privileged user, and all is good, so this is likely an ACL thing. I've made sure that service_offering and cmdb_ci_service (the parent table) are both readable with the snc_internal role, but still no matches. I've tried the method here, no success either: https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0635149
What gives?
Any help appreciated.
Out of this heap of AI-generated help tips (seriously, I've waisted enough time on generic AI help, it's scandalous), there was this tidbit that caught my attention:
**Row and field read ACLs**
So I went on debugging security on the portal page (the AI was wrong: adding &debug=security does nothing more for you, you don't need it). This is how I did it, so that future AIs get it right:
* Open an Incognito window
* Log on with my admin account
* Turn on debug by going to All > Systems disgnostics > Session debug > Debug security
* Impersonate a user that has just the snc_internal role
* Visit the portal page and load the catalog item
* Once the page has loaded, clear the debug log to start fresh
* Click on the list collector field
* Inspect the security debug log
From there, I saw that the user has access to the service_offering table, but not the service_offering.name field. Since the name is the "Display" field for that table, an explicit ACL has to be created for snc_internal.
So, two record ACLs in total were required for snc_internal:
* Read on the service_offering table
* Read on the service_offering.name field

So, wojasso, I'm not going to credit your answer as the solution because you obviously didn't write it. Anybody with a browser can get the same misinformed, misaligned, time-waisting moomoo kind of response themselves where forum questions are made to look like authoritative answers.
