Restrict access to specific import sets/data sources

Morten Steenbac · ‎01-30-2018

I have created 4 import sets for Asset Managers to bulk import/update assets from a spreadsheet.

To give them access to use the import sets on a daily basis, I can give them the import_set_loader and import_transformer roles.

But that gives them access to all import sets in the instance.

I'm thinking about different approaches to create ACL's to restrict access to only use the 4 asset mgmt specific import sets.

Anyone has come up some nice solutions for that?

Morten, you may want to look at my "Consumerize" Data Imports to Non-ServiceNow Administrators solution on this community:

"Consumerize" Data Imports to Non-ServiceNow Administrators

This would allow you to create record producers that you can then restrict to your specific users via User Criteria for them to import.

Another alternative is to use the Easy Import feature:

Easy import

This is an option from a list to right click and import records. Out of the box this is only available to administrators but you can navigate to System UI \ UI Context Menus, search for name=import and add additional record for specific tables and specific roles.

Argh!...

The record producer form is not displaying any script window in the 'What it will contain' section

I guess this is a HI incident...

That is very odd. Try another browser to see if that will get you sorted.

Yes indeed - different browser doesn't solve it. HI Support...
