    Attribute Description
    Property name glide.security.strict.updates
    Configuration type System Properties (/sys_properties_list.do)
    Configure in Instance Security Center Yes
    Purpose To ensure an added layer of verification of user permissions before presenting the form in the browser.
    Recommended value true
    Functional ImpactThis remediation adds an extra layer of validation to check for user permissions on the target table/page on the instance. As long as the access controls are set appropriately on the customer instance, there should be no impact.
    Security risk (High) You should always check access request when transactions happen between two zones. This operation checks for permissions when the form is requested and before form rendering happens.
