Question on ACL

[Community Alums]

Hi,

I have created a new table and just added only one read ACL with no roles, conditions, or anything else. I removed Admin Overrides, but the admin can still see the records. Why? Kindly help.

Hi @Community Alums ,

When Checked: Admins automatically pass the permissions check for this ACL, regardless of any specified roles, conditions, or scripts.

When Unchecked: Admins are subject to the same conditions and scripts as other users for this ACL. However, since admins inherently bypass role checks, additional conditions or scripts must be defined to restrict their access effectively.

This ensures that administrators don’t unintentionally lose critical access during system configuration, while still allowing for explicit restrictions when necessary.

If my response helped, please mark it as the accepted solution ✅ and give a thumbs up👍.
Thanks,
Anand

Hi @Anand Kumar P,

If Admin Over Rides is checked and in the script, it is deny access to Admin, it will not give access to Admin right?

That makes no sense. Just uncheck the box. Then there is no need to exclude the admin in the script. Using the admin override and excluding the admin in the script can lead to very strange behavior and I think the can collide, granting the access you don't want. Just keep it as clean as possible.
