I want to give a user attachment ability only on a table. The user should not be able to edit other fields on the record, he/ she should only be able to access the attachment on the form. There are some already existing write ACLs on the table for other user. How can we achieve this?

Access to an attachment in ServiceNow is based off of the permissions of the record it is attached to.
This video might help you understand more.
Accept the solution and mark as helpful if it does, to benefit future readers.

if user doesn't have write access to the table then user cannot see the OOTB paper-clip icon and hence cannot add files.
Please discuss with your customer
If you still think please check this link, if it helps
Allow adding attachments to form but restrict write access
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar , your solution is correct but our requirement is not getting fulfilled with this solution as, we do not have a particular role defined for that user. Is there any way to implement this without role?
