CIS-HR Timed Practice Test 1 — 10 Questions

Question 1

An HR implementation team wants to ensure that only users with the HR case manager role can view the 'confidential notes' field on HR cases, while all other HR agents can see the case but not that field. The field is on the HR case table. What is the most appropriate configuration to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create a field-level ACL on the confidential notes field that requires the HR case manager role for read access, and ensure no other ACL grants read access to that field.. Field-level ACLs are the correct mechanism to restrict access to a specific field based on roles. By requiring the HR case manager role for read access on the confidential notes field, only those users can see it. Other HR agents with table-level read access will not see the field because the field-level ACL denies access. This is a standard security practice in ServiceNow.

Answer

Create a UI policy that makes the confidential notes field read-only for all HR agents except those with the HR case manager role.

Answer

Create a table-level ACL on the HR case table that requires the HR case manager role for read access, and then create a separate table-level ACL that allows all HR agents read access.

Answer

Create a business rule that clears the confidential notes field when the current user does not have the HR case manager role.

Question 5

An organization requires that HR case data be encrypted at rest. What platform feature must be enabled?

Accepted Answer

Column Level Encryption (CLE). Column Level Encryption (CLE) is the platform feature that encrypts specific columns in a table, ensuring data at rest is encrypted. For HR case data, enabling CLE on the relevant fields (e.g., case description) satisfies the encryption at rest requirement. CLE uses the platform's encryption capabilities to protect sensitive data.

Question 6

When configuring a Record Producer for an HR Service, where should the HR Administrator map the 'Short Description' variable to ensure it populates the case correctly?

Accepted Answer

In the Record Producer 'Variables' related list, configure the variable's 'Map to field' attribute. In the Record Producer 'Variables' related list, you configure the variable's 'Map to field' attribute to map it to the 'Short Description' field on the HR case. This ensures that when the record producer is submitted, the variable value populates the case's Short Description. This is the standard declarative mapping method.

Question 9

You want to ensure that only members of the 'HR Benefits' group can see certain HR cases. Which field on the HR Case form should you use?

Accepted Answer

Assignment groups are used to control access via ACLs that restrict case visibility to members of that group. By setting the Assignment group to 'HR Benefits', only users in that group will have access.

Question 10

In a multi-scoped environment, how do you allow an HR role to access a global 'cmdb_ci' table?

Accepted Answer

By creating a Restricted Caller Access (RCA) record. In a multi-scoped environment, a Restricted Caller Access (RCA) record is the correct way to allow a scoped application (like HR) to access a table in another scope (like the global cmdb_ci table). RCA records explicitly grant cross-scope access to specific tables or scripts, bypassing the default scope isolation. This is the standard mechanism for controlled cross-scope access.

Answer

By changing the scope of the cmdb_ci table

Answer

By adding the 'hr_admin' role to the table

Answer

By using an HR Criteria
