The report_view operation is a record type access control list (ACL) that restricts access to reports. Only users who have one of the required roles can view reports that contain the restricted resource.

To create a report_view ACL, follow the [general procedure for creating an ACL rule](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_CreateAnACLRule&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US), but bearing the following points in mind:

There are two kinds of report_view access control lists (ACLs): report_view table ACLs and report_view field ACLs. Report_view table ACLs prevent users from viewing report or data visualization content based on the table specified in the ACL. Report_view field ACLs prevent users from viewing reports or data visualizations that use the field specified in the ACL in the group by, row, column or aggregation settings.{#report-view-access-control__r-v-acl-sd}

For example, a report_view field ACL grants the report_admin role viewing access to the salary
field in an HR table. When users with the itil or report_user role access a report grouped on the
salary field, they see: Access to this content denied based on report_view field ACLs.

## Report_view operation design considerations {#report-view-access-control__section_mbc_z53_ptb}

Use these guidelines when creating your own report_view operation access controls.

Restrict access to reports by a required role
:   The report_view operation only supports access restrictions based on a
    required role. A report_view access control does not support scripts or advanced
    conditions.

Restrict access to list reports with a read operation
:   A list report uses regular record access controls to determine who can access data in a
    table or field. A report_view access control cannot prevent users from viewing lists to which
    they have read access. To restrict access to record data in lists and forms, create a read
    operation access control. For more information about record access controls, see [Access control list rules](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=access-control-rules&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).
* **[Report execution security](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/GFAI68OKB_mdHMjRTY955A)**   
  When a report is run, report_view access control lists (ACLs) are evaluated on the table and table fields that the report is based on. If no report_view ACL exists, there is a fallback check on table-level read ACL roles.
