# Ensure archive table ACLs are checked

# Ensure archive table ACLs are checked {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
The glide.security.enable_archive_table_acls property controls whether access control lists (ACLs) of the original table, the table the archive table was created from, are evaluated to false.
The glide.security.enable_archive_table_acls system property controls whether ACLs added to archive tables are evaluated (true) or if only the ACLs of the original table (the table the
archive table was created from) are evaluated (false). There is no reason for this property to not be true since the original table ACLs will be evaluated regardless of its value and since a customer can
simply avoid additional ACLs for an archive table by not adding them.

Ensure that the value of glide.security.enable_archive_table_acls is set to true.

| Attribute | Description |
|-|-|
| Configuration name | glide.security.enable_archive_table_acls |
| Configuration type | System Properties (/sys_properties_list.do) |
| Data type | Boolean |
| Recommended value | true |
| Default value | \<none\> |
| Fallback value | true |
| Category | [Access control](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/UcoTP53NgzpgtyyAIm1CdQ "The access control category audits the process of protecting resources from unauthorized access through granting and denying requests based on a permission model. This includes ensuring an entity accessing a resource holds valid credentials to do so, creating and protecting a well-defined set of roles or permissions and ensuring role or permission controls are protected from replay and tampering.") |
| Security risk | * Severity score: 3.0 * CVSS score: Low * Security risk details: If the property is set to false, ACLs added to archived tables will be ignored, an action which is counter intuitive and may lead to authorization bypass. {#sc-ensure-archive-table-acls-are-checked__ul_lb5_3lg_p3c} |
| Functional impact | When this property is set to true, any active read ACLs on archive tables will be honored. If no active read ACLs exist or the property is set to false, the original table's (table from which data was archived) will apply to the archive table. Note: Only read ACLs are supported on archive tables. Other operations on archive tables are governed internally through an Access Handler. |
| Dependencies and prerequisites | None |
