Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Read ACL: Grants permission to view records.
ServiceNow ACL types define the operation being restricted. Read, Write, Create, Delete, and Execute are common. Correctly pair each ACL with its function: Read for viewing, Write for modifying, Create for adding, Delete for removing, Execute for running scripts. Common confusions involve swapping Delete and Execute.
