Field ACL is not working

[Peter Wood]

Hi All,

We have one table 'ABC' we have existing table level read ACL with 'PQR' role, Now I want to create one field level write ACL on ABC table can I use same role which is there in read ACL or do I need to use the different role foe field level write ACL.

Thanks

Hi @Peter Wood 

Please specify the requirement in details.

But if you want the PQR to still have Write access on that field, the role needs to be inlcuded in the required rol for the field level write ACL.

We have one existing read ACL on table with one role, Now I want to give user edit access for one field on that table. For that I have written one field level write ACL with same role but it is not working.

Hi Peter,

Could you clarify how you assign that role? Is it designated for a single user exclusively, or has the role already been assigned to a specific group?

When it comes to Access Control Lists (ACLs), it's generally not advisable to revoke specific access only to subsequently grant it to another user, following best practices.

If you encounter any ACL-related issues, I recommend conducting a session debug and filtering it by ACL to identify any problem areas marked in red. You can find more information on this process in the following article: Access Control Rules Debug.
