SNOW-CSA UI, Navigation and Forms Practice Question

This SNOW-CSA practice question tests your understanding of ui, navigation and forms. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Exhibit

(function() {
    if (gs.hasRole('admin')) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
})()

Refer to the exhibit. This is a script used in an ACL on the 'incident' table with 'type' set to 'record' and 'operation' set to 'read'. What is the effect of this ACL?

Exhibit

(function() {
    if (gs.hasRole('admin')) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
})()

A
Grants read access only to admin
Why wrong: This is partially true but incomplete; the ACL also denies non-admin (default deny).
B
Denies read access to everyone
Why wrong: Admin users are granted access.
C
Denies read access to non-admin users
Non-admin users get false, so they are denied read access.
D
Grants read access to everyone
Why wrong: The script returns false for non-admin users, so they are denied.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Denies read access to non-admin users

Option D is correct because the ACL grants read access only to users with the admin role, effectively denying read access to non-admin users. Options A, B, and C misinterpret the ACL logic.

Key principle: ACLs process entries top to bottom and stop at the first match. Entry order and interface direction matter as much as the permit or deny statement.

✗
Denies read access to everyone
Why it's wrong here
Admin users are granted access.
✓
Denies read access to non-admin users
Why this is correct
Non-admin users get false, so they are denied read access.
Related concept

The script returns false for non-admin users, so they are denied.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: ACLs stop at the first match

ACLs are processed top to bottom. The first matching entry wins, and an implicit deny usually exists at the end.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

ACL questions test precision: source, destination, protocol, port and direction. A generally correct ACL can still fail if it is applied on the wrong interface or in the wrong direction.

KKey Concepts to Remember

Standard ACLs match source addresses.
Extended ACLs can match source, destination, protocol and ports.
The first matching ACL entry is used.
There is usually an implicit deny at the end.

TExam Day Tips

Check inbound versus outbound direction.
Read the ACL from top to bottom.
Look for a broader permit or deny above the intended line.

Key takeaway

ACLs process entries top to bottom and stop at the first match. Entry order and interface direction matter as much as the permit or deny statement.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A security administrator must allow nursing staff to reach a patient records server while blocking access from the guest Wi-Fi VLAN. After applying an extended ACL, traffic is still blocked from nursing workstations. The ACL was applied outbound instead of inbound on the wrong interface. Questions like this test ACL direction and placement rules.

What to study next

Got this wrong? Here's your next step.

Review ACL processing order, placement rules (standard near destination, extended near source), and inbound vs outbound direction. Study wildcard masks and implicit deny. Then practise related SNOW-CSA ACL questions on filtering logic and placement.
