SNOW-CSA UI, Navigation and Forms Practice Question
A system administrator needs to hide the 'Delete' button on the incident form for users with the 'itil' role, but allow it for administrators. What is the best approach?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse ACLs (which control backend access) with UI Policies (which control frontend visibility), leading them to choose ACLs for hiding buttons instead of using the correct client-side mechanism.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
UI policy with role condition
A UI Policy with a role condition is the best approach because it dynamically controls the visibility of the 'Delete' button on the incident form based on the user's role. UI Policies run client-side and can hide or show fields and buttons without requiring a page refresh, making them ideal for form-level UI changes. By setting the condition to 'role=itil' and the action to 'Hide', the button will be hidden for itil users but remain visible for administrators who do not have that condition applied.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Modify the form view to remove the button
Why it's wrong here
Modifying the form view removes the button for all users, not role-specific.
- ✓
UI policy with role condition
Why this is correct
UI policies can hide form buttons based on conditions like user roles.
- ✗
Business rule checking role
Why it's wrong here
Business rules run server-side and cannot hide form buttons.
- ✗
ACL with condition on role
Why it's wrong here
ACLs control record access, not button visibility on a form.
