  • Use the sn_fsm.use_query_rules property to apply rules and filters to the Field Service Management tables.

    When the sn_fsm.use_query_rules property is set to true, the rules and filters from the sn_query_rule table will be used to determine read access to Field Service Management tables of authenticated users. It does this through query business rules and Read ACLs. When this property is set to false, the records won't be filtered based on query rules. Query business rules add additional security validations when enabled on this property, and they will filter records for agents, qualifiers, and dispatchers based on their assigned territory or territory membership. This implements the principle of least privilege when reading records.

    Functional impact

    When set to true, rules/filters from sn_query_rule table will be used to determine read access to Field service management related tables. For example, Work Order (WO) and Work Order Table (WOT) to the logged-in user through query business rules and READ ACLs. When false, the records won't be filtered based on query rules.

    Enabling this property secures the data, and all data (wm_task and wm_order) won't be visible to their users.
