  • Manage field level ACLs in GlideRecordSandbox on your instance.

    Use the glide.sandbox.fields.check_acl property to enforce field level ACLs in GlideRecordSandbox. An example in which this property is applied is when a user can provide a script, like in sysparm_query. If this property is not set to the recommended value of true, ACL restrictions can be bypassed, which enables sensitive data to be compromised, such as a sys_user.user_password from an unauthorized user.

    Warning:
    The value for this property is a no DB override. It can't be altered or overridden.
