# Create an access control list for an insurance policy table

Create an access control list (ACL) for a table that extends the Insurance Policy (sn_bom_ins_policy) table by using the Insurance claims application. By creating an ACL, you ensure that users with specific roles can interact with tables for a particular insurance policy.

## Before you begin

Create a role to assign access to a table that extends the Insurance Policy (sn_bom_ins_policy) table. For more information, see [Create a role to access insurance policy tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/EscJWv4b5vWOJYLgunc12g "Create a role to enable an authorized agent to access tables that extend the Insurance Policy (sn_bom_ins_policy) table by using the Insurance claims application. By creating a role, you ensure that only authorized agents can view the policies that are relevant to their roles.").

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionTables.
2. Open the table definition of the insurance policy.
3. In the Access Controls related list, select New.  
   Elevate your role to security_admin to create an ACL.
4. In the Requires role list, assign the role and sn_bom.admin to the new ACL.  
   For example, if you created a viewer role, you would create a read operation ACL and assign the viewer role that you created, and add the sn_bom.admin role to the Requires role list.  
   Note:  
   Adding the sn_bom.admin role enables you as the application administrator to manage access to the insurance policy table more effectively. You can then grant, revoke, or modify access without needing system-level permissions. This role provides you with greater flexibility while enabling you to maintain control over the table.

## Result

The insurance policy table contains the ACLs for the roles in your workflow, providing them with the appropriate level of access. The sn_bom.admin role is also added to the table so that you, as the application administrator,
can manage access.

## What to do next

Grant the Insurance claims contributor (sn_ins_gen_claim.fnol_representative) and agent (sn_ins_gen_claim.processor) roles so that they can access the insurance policy table. For more information, see [Grant the Insurance claims roles access to an insurance policy table](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/aoepz5vzGnRxhW6Y3QEWdw "Grant the Insurance claims contributor (sn_ins_gen_claim.fnol_representative) and agent (sn_ins_gen_claim.processor) roles with access to an insurance policy table by using the Insurance claims application. This way, the users with these roles can view the policy details when they’re processing claims.").
