List View Security Constraint

I am getting the following message at the bottom of my list views for ITIL users ONLY. As a result the ITIL user doesn't see all the records in the list view. This is not happening for Admins.

"Number of rows removed from this list by Security constraints: 1"

I assume this is some kind of security setting but I can't for the life of me find where it is.

Thanks!

This is a feature of Access Controls. When the READ operation prohibits a user from seeing a record on a list, this message shows and the number of records that are prohibited by the READ operation Access Control are counted.

If your intent is to avoid seeing this message, consider a Query Business Rule instead. They provide the same functionality and do not display a message to the user. Be extra careful and test extra thoroughly when building Query BR's.


Apparently the 'read' ACL on the Request table was where the limitation was coming from. Thanks for this guidance!

Hi,

I am having the same problem. I created an ACL on cmdb_ci_Business Services. It is a read only ACL. I also created a role, u_Business Services. I made the ACL i created to require this new role. When I applied the role to the ci application, the users were still able to read, write and del. so I try to drill down and apply the role only to Business Services module. Still the read, write and del permission was being granted. I removed the role from the module after testing. After that, no one with "itil" role except some one with Admin role can see any list under the B/S module. Every one without Admin right get the error "Security Constraints" error. I have deactivated the ACL and now the itil users are able to see the list in B/S, except it it not display correctly. You have to hoover over the list to get the complete text. Any, how were you able to resolve your problem. I still need to create a role that will allow read only permission to the Business Service module on cmdb_ci_Business Services. Any help will be appreciated.
