Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Security Data Filters (Yokohama):** Enable fine-grained control over sensitive data access by applying filters before query execution, preventing unauthorized data exposure at the database query level. These filters integrate automatically with GlideRecordSecure and sandbox variants. * **Related Record Access (Yokohama):** Enhances ACL enforcement by applying access controls on related tables, ensuring that users' permissions on parent records govern access to associated records for consistent and granular security. * **Machine Identity Access Controls (Zurich):** Provide fine-grained access restrictions for integrations accessing data via REST or SOAP APIs, ensuring integrations only access necessary resources. * **Scripting Governance Tool (Zurich):** Helps reduce and manage scripting privileges by enforcing a deny-by-default policy unless users have a specific scripting role, improving platform security. * **Datatype ACLs (Zurich):** Simplify ACL management by allowing a single ACL to apply to all columns of a specific data type, reducing redundant ACL definitions. ## Changes * **Query ACLs Auto-Loading (Australia):** Query ACLs now load automatically with most platform plugins, reducing manual tasks and the need for the QueryRangeACLAuditor tool. Custom query ACLs remain preserved but inactive by default. * **ACL Types Optimization (Australia):** Core field and datatype ACLs have been replaced with more comprehensive rules to optimize ACL volume and management. * **Strict Denial for Invalid Roles (Brazil):** ACLs will strictly deny access if none of the referenced roles exist on the instance, enhancing access control predictability. This behavior is default for new instances and can be enabled on upgrades via a system property. ## Activation and Requirements * Access Management is an AI Platform feature activated by default across all relevant releases from Yokohama to Brazil. * No additional browser or localization requirements were introduced or changed in these releases. * Pre- and post-upgrade tasks should be reviewed and completed as necessary to ensure smooth upgrade transitions. ## Accessibility and User Experience With the Brazil release, the Coral theme is now the default for new portal, web, and mobile experiences when using Next Experience or Core UI. This theme includes brand-neutral illustrations and offers a dark mode option to enhance user experience accessibility. ## Key Outcomes for ServiceNow Customers * **Enhanced Data Security:** Implement Security Data Filters and Related Record Access to ensure sensitive data is strictly protected and accessed only by authorized users based on role and context. * **Improved Integration Security:** Use Machine Identity Access Controls to tightly manage integration permissions, reducing risk of overexposure of data through APIs. * **Streamlined Access Control Management:** Leverage Datatype ACLs and automated Query ACL loading to reduce administrative overhead and complexity in managing ACLs. * **Robust Scripting Governance:** Enforce least privilege principles in scripting capabilities to minimize security risks from unauthorized script usage. * **Proactive Security Monitoring:** Utilize Access Findings and Access Analyzer tools to continuously validate access configurations and detect misconfigurations with AI-powered remediation guidance. * **Consistent Upgrade Experience:** The combined release notes clarify that no features were removed or deprecated, and Access Management remains active by default, ensuring continuity and stability during upgrades. By understanding these enhancements and changes, ServiceNow customers can better prepare for upgrades to Brazil, optimize their access management strategies, and strengthen their overall security posture using the platform's latest capabilities.

Security data filters are applied before query execution, ensuring restricted data never leaves the database and prevents data leakage at the query level. Filters integrate into queries for GlideRecordSecure, GlideRecordSandbox, and GlideAggregateSandbox by default. [Related record access](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=related-record-access&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) : Related record access integrated into the ACL framework enhances access management by enabling administrators to enforce specific ACLs for related tables. This ensures users can only access records in related tables, such as costs, estimations, or tasks, based on their permissions for the parent table, like projects or cases. Combined with broader ACL capabilities, Related record access ensures consistent, granular, and enforceable | | Zurich | [Machine identity access controls](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=machine-identity-access-controls&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Enforce fine-grained access to data via REST or SOAP endpoints using Machine Identity Access Controls. This feature enables you to define which integrations can access specific data, confirming that the integrations only have access to the resources they need. [Scripting Governance Tool](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=scripting-governance&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) tool and role : Review and help reduce the number of users with scripting privileges using the Scripting Governance Tool. This tool helps improve platform security with scripting governance based on user role.A new deny-by-default behavior is enforced for scripting unless you have the snc_required_script_writer_permission role. After an upgrade or zBoot, this role is automatically assigned via the Conditional Script Writer group. [Datatype ACL](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=datatype-acl&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Simplify and help reduce redundant ACL definitions with Datatype ACLs. Create a single ACL to target all table columns of a specific data type, streamlining access control configurations. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Changes Between your current release family and Brazil, some changes were made to existing Access Management features. {#dfrn3-accessmanagement-summary__entry__22} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | [Query ACLs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=query-acl-rule&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Query ACLs now load automatically during plugin installation for most platform plugins. These preconfigured ACLs reduce the need to run the QueryRangeACLAuditor tool to generate query ACLs. Store app query ACLs aren't included in preconfigured query ACLs. For more information about preconfigured query ACLs, see the [Maintenance Information \[KB2046494\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB2046494) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.Existing custom query ACLs are preserved and loaded as inactive. To view inactive ACLs, use this command: `/sys_security_acl_list.do?[query_parameters]`QueryRangeACLAuditor tool modifications are preserved. [ACL types](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=acl-rule-types&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Core field and datatype ACLs are replaced with more comprehensive rules to optimize ACL volume. | | Brazil | [Explore Access Control Lists](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=exploring-access-control-list&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Improve access control predictability by enforcing strict denial when none of the referenced roles referenced in an ACL exist on the instance. This behavior doesn't apply to ACLs that have a mix of valid and invalid roles. This behavior is on by default for new instances. If you upgraded to this release, use the glide.security.acl_with_invalid_roles_strict_deny property to turn it on. Navigate to AllAccess ManagementAccess Findings to find these ACLs in the Access Checks list. | [ ] ## Removed Between your current release family and Brazil, some Access Management features or functionality were removed. {#dfrn3-accessmanagement-summary__entry__32} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Deprecations Between your current release family and Brazil, some Access Management features or functionality were deprecated. {#dfrn3-accessmanagement-summary__entry__42} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Activation information Review information on how to activate Access Management. {#dfrn3-accessmanagement-summary__entry__52} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | Activation information : Access Management is a ServiceNow AI Platform feature that is active by default. | | Zurich | Activation information : Access Management is a ServiceNow AI Platform feature that is active by default. | | Australia | Activation information : Access Management is a ServiceNow AI Platform feature that is active by default. | | Brazil | Activation information : Access Management is a ServiceNow AI Platform feature that is active by default. | [ ] ## Additional requirements If any additional requirements were introduced or changed for Access Management we have noted them here. {#dfrn3-accessmanagement-summary__entry__62} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Browser requirements If any specific browser requirements were introduced or changed for Access Management we have noted them here. {#dfrn3-accessmanagement-summary__entry__72} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Accessibility information Review details on accessibility information for Access Management, such as specific requirements or compliance levels. {#dfrn3-accessmanagement-summary__entry__82} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | Accessibility information : Coral is the default theme for new portal, web, and mobile experiences with Next Experience or Core UI enabled.
