Hello Team,
I created a report on a table "X" ,In the list view of the report I have 44 records ,But when I grouped by using one column "Y" it gives me only 42 records,With a message at the below
" Number of groups removed from this list by Security constraints: 2"
My question is :Why only 2 records are not showing when am using group by on column??
And if there is any "read" ACL on my table it should restrict all the records right??Else at least it should not show the records in List view of report as well .But it only happens when am using "group by"
Is there any possibility that column "Y" restricting the records.But I did not find any ACL on column "Y"
Note-I do have admin role.(And am running this report on database view)
I checked for all the read ACL's with admin overrides "false" .
I checked for all the read ACL's with admin overrides "false" .
Is there any possibility to show up those 2 records while using group by??
Thanks in Advance.........
Have a good day.

This happens because of Read ACL based on Group or User based filters. You need to recheck the read ACL conditions.
The reason its only showing this when you do group by is that it sorts the list and when we have restriction in place using ACL it restricts the list but shows this message in place of those records.
Please refer to this KB article that will help you understand this & give you are alternative [before Query BR] of those read ACL.

Hi Archie,
if you have admin role & still you are getting this " Number of groups removed from this list by Security constraints: 2", that means some ACL's are preventing it to allow you to access those.
Even i have admin role in my Org instance but i faced the same issue, please check those two groups belong to which application scope. Then check ACL of those.You may get an idea why is it happening.
Thanks
