I want to remove the OOB Update and Delete button from my custom table .
in the form view of the custom table there are no button configured. But i could not able to remove or disable these buttons.
I check the sys_ui_action table but these buttons are not present for my custom table.

Hi @BaijunathS
Any reason to remove it? The update option is available to all users, while deletion is restricted to admins or users who have access to this table.

These are out‑of‑the‑box UI actions on a global table.
Since your user has Write and Delete access, both buttons are visible.
Ensure the user has the correct roles, and configure Table.None Write and Table.None Delete ACLs to restrict update and delete access to only valid users.

Hi @BaijunathS
Hide button instead of Remove it using ACL.
- Go to System Security > Access Control.
Search for a Delete ACL on your custom table
Modify the Requires role or Condition settings to restrict deletion to designated roles (e.g., admin).
Once users lack delete permissions at the ACL level, ServiceNow will dynamically strip the UI Action from both the form and list views.
- Do it with Write ACL on your custom table

Hello @BaijunathS ,
OOTB that buttons visible based access , if you have write and delete access then that button visible to only those people/role who have that access . So if you dont want to give update and delete access so you can try acl on that table .
If this helps you then mark it as helpful and accept as solution.
Regards,
Aditya
