Hi ServiceNow Community,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I am testing the Employee Center portal in a developer instance, I have created a new portal and cloned the following pages:
- HomePage: ec_dashboard > custom_ec_dashboard
- KB home page: esc_knowledge_home > custom_esc_knowledge_home
- Catalog Home Page: esc_sc_category > custom_esc_sc_category
When I load the new portal I have created, I get the following error across the top of the page:
"Execute operation on script include 'todoPageUtils' from scope 'Employee Center Core' was denied. The application 'Employee Center Core' must declare a cross scope access privilege. Please contact the application admin to update their access requests."
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, can you please provide detailed information on how you resolved it?
Thanks

Hi all
I'm facing the same issue with the "Utah" release, but thanks to Mark Roethof for providing the solution, the issue has been resolved. I have configured the following: I hope someone who faces the same problem can help them.
1. Go to All >> Navigation>> and search for "Application Restricted Caller Access" menu to open the list.
2. Filter out the status field with "Allowed" and you will see the list of Invalidated records.
3. Change those records' status to Allowed.
4. Reopen your Employee Center portal for confirmation.

Updating the corresponding entry in the sys_restricted_caller_access table solves this issue.
