How to find an ACL for a field

He, we recently upgraded to Helsink and now we are unable to modify the Approval field in the CCR form.   We get the below error.

Error: "Security prevents writing to this field."

How do I figure out what ACL is causing this so that I can modify this?   Is there a tool in ServiceNow that can tell me what ACL its using?

Thanks

That looks like a list edit.   Right click the field from the form view.

You are looking at a list.   Please go to the form containing the field.


Thanks but no luck.   Anybody at the Knowledge17 conference that can help me?

Which field on the approval record are you trying to get to see the ACLs?


I think I got it working.   I found the ACL and added a role that has write access.   Testing in Dev.   Thanks!

You can nivaigate to Access control and then search by you table name. It will give you a list of ACL on that table. search for the one with the field name. the name of the acl will be in the format, table.fieldname.
