ACLs Not Applying to Inherited Table

[Abigail]

There is a problem with Access Control Lists (ACLs) not functioning as expected on a child table. Specifically, the ACLs configured for the "Computer" table are not being applied to the "Handheld Devices" table, which is a child table inheriting from the "Computer" table.

Is it possible for a parent table's ACLs to be inherited by its child tables?

How does ACL inheritance work? Can ACLs from a parent table be automatically applied to its child tables?

Thanks

Hi Abigail,

Child tables can inherit ACLs from their parent tables. However, If a child table has its own ACLs defined, these will take precedence over the inherited ACLs from the parent table. If you are experiencing issues where ACLs on the "Computer" table are not being applied to the "Handheld Devices" table, it may be due to the presence of specific ACLs on the "Handheld Devices" table that restrict access. 

Following Access hierarchy is found from the original post - ACL on parent and child table work
