Servicenow acl query

[Aditya_hublikar]

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that some properties/records which are restricted to be updated only by the maint role in the UI can still be modified using Scripts – Background. Is this expected platform behavior due to elevated script execution privileges, or is there a recommended way to prevent such updates? I’m trying to understand the security best practices around controlling admin/script-level changes and whether additional ACLs or governance controls are typically used

After background script :

Background script: 

I also look at its acl then i got ACL Like write access is only for nobody role,still it will get updated by background script
