You need the role security_admin. If you have this you can click your profile and hit elevate role, then select security admin. Once you've done this you will be able to edit/create/delete ACLs

Hi @vishwajeet5550 ,

 

No, you cannot create / modify an ACL without elevating the 'security_admin' role. 'security_admin' role is must while working with ACLs. Below is a presentation I have made about the ACLs in ServiceNow https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gharshavardhana_acls-in-servicenow-by-harsha-gummagatta-activity-7285...

 

Please accept the solution and mark as helpful if it solved your query.

Hi @vishwajeet5550 

Only users with security_admin role can configure ACLs. Please find the below servicenow document and in the Procedure section refer the 3rd point.
