Hi, @ambikak1 .

Generally, if a user has sufficient role access to modify a record via its form (e.g., itil or specific write roles), they can also edit it inline in a list, unless explicitly restricted.
it is controlled by Access Control Lists (ACLs) using the specific list_edit operation, combined with standard record-update permissions and table-level role requirements.

Hi @ambikak1 

 

As mentioned it for sure sounds like an ACL issue. Have you tried to run access analyzer.

 

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as the accepted solution and give a thumbs up.

@ambikak1 

in native or workspace?

Is it working with admin and blocking for non-admins?

Did you debug using access analyzer?
