read ACL query

[Gary22]

hi all 

I am writing a read ACL so that for a specific custom role i can allow read access to all incident fields ( both on incident form load and on related lists where incidents are displayed ) .

There are two ways to write the ACL 

1. Incident.*

2.Incident.None ( selecting no fields , my assumption is servicenow will interpret this is as all fields )

my query is , what is the difference between the two ACLs .and which one should i use 

Regards

Hi @Gary22 

Table.*  is a field level ACL which gives Access to all field on that table.

Table.none  is a row level ACL which allows you to access records.

Both are table level ACL, But the thing is * is a wild card entry. Suppose None is restricting table level access and you provide access by using * , system can allow you to do the work.

I suggest you to use incident.* as user can access all the records

Please mark the answer helpful and mark it as solution

Thanks
