Hi @mallikharjunaswamyvutla,

Questions on ACL:

1. What is ACL ,Admin Override checkbox.

2. Role required for ACL, Scripted ACL?

There is also one scenario which was asked at my interview time and the scenario is like:

1. If there are two users User A and User B. If there are total 5 fields on form and want to show 3 of them to User A and all 5 should be visible to User B.

Please mark it as helpful or correct if it is helpful to you.

Thank you,
