Report_view ACL

[paradise624]

Hi All,

How do I get to the report_view ACL? I checked in ACLs but I don't see it.

I have this same issue and I found where you are talking about @Anurag Tripathi but how do I find out what ACL or ACLS are blocking the user from viewing it?

Hi Adam,

You can use the debug security -> ACL debugging tools (servicenow.com)

OR you can deactivate the ones that apply one by one and test to see which one affected it.

Thanks @Anurag Tripathi , and apologies to anyone who's come here, as I should have come back and updated with the answer I was looking for.

I imagine this will depend on how your environment is configured, but in one of ours, elevating to Security Admin is required to see the 'Access Control (ACL)' module in the Navigator.


This is what was preventing me from finding the module in the menu.

Also - I've used the new Access Analyzer a few times and it's *super* helpful in identifying the precise access issue.

Really cool new tool.

The question has been answered already.  Its in the documentation.

In case you did not read it, let me copy and paste it for you.

"

• When a report is run, report_view access control lists (ACLs) are evaluated on the table and table fields that the report is based on. If no report_view ACL exists, there is a fallback check on table-level read ACL roles.

Please check below links to find solution for the same.

ACL Assessment for Reports 

The report_view operation is a record type access control list (ACL) that restricts access to reports. Only users who have one of the required roles can view reports that contain the restricted resource.

"report_view" is the operation used in the ACL of any Table to give permission to the user to view Reports related to that Table.
