HI All,

I am new to Servicenow ,I was going through the training and i am stuck with bellow doubts

Which rule will be executed first row level ACL or field level ACL rule ?

As per documention, Field level ACL then Table Level ACL will be executed but when i checked the Security log ,I could see that Table level ACL executed first.

Thank You,

Hi first it will check table and then fields refer diagram here. With out access to the table how can you give access to field?

Hi, it is written in the documentation I believe:

Record ACL rules are processed in the following order:

  • Match the object against table ACL rules.
  • Match the object against field ACL rules

So, table ACL comes first.

Hope it helps
