Does write ACL grant read access?

[Ren Magalona2]

Just confirming, does write ACL grant read access automatically? Scenario is, if there is a read ACL defined and you didnt evaluate to true but you did evaluate to true in write ACL, does it give you both write and read access on that record?

Thanks

No, Read ACL is must. 

Until you have read ACL evaluate to true, user will not be able to see that data which means he won't be able to write/update (obviously).

Hi,

No. You wouldn't be able to write to it because you can't even see it.

Hi,

I just wanted to check-in on this. If my reply above helped guide you correctly, if you don't mind, please mark it as Helpful & Correct. Or if Muhammad did, then please mark his as Correct.

Thank you!

Hi Ren,

As it's already mentioned by Muhammad and Allen I will also echo the same thing that without read ACL there is no use of write ACL and it's mandatory to have read access prior to write access.

You can refer to the below link for the concepts of ACL.

Kindly mark my answer as Correct and Helpful based on the Impact.
