Understand ACL in Gliderecord/Gliderecordsecure

[Ruchi Kumari1]

Hi There,

I have been trying to understand difference between GlideRecord and GlideRecordSecure .
I am aware that in GlideRecordSecure, ACL is enforced.

However, i want to understand it better how it works in backend.
I have a scenario as follows:
1. There is a read ACL on table1 for which access is role based. Available for Role1.
2. Now the current logged in user who doesnot have role1, will they get expected result if they use Gliderecord or GlideRecordSecure on table1?

2. Now the current logged in user who doesnot have role1, will they get expected result if they use Gliderecord or GlideRecordSecure on table1? -> If user doesn't satisfy ACL then GlideRecordSecure will block but user can still read if they use GlideRecord

good explanation here

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hello @Ruchi Kumari1 

The GlideRecordSecure() checks with the most widely granted role as can read() - if Read required. 

Can write if write required. 

Like if there is an ACL - there must be a role that is granted widely to users to grant access - it checks with that. If that not found then it checks with others.

Goes like that for all the operations canRead, can write, can delete - whatever is required.
