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
✓
An ACL's 'Requires role' field can have multiple roles separated by commas.
Options C, D, and E are correct. C: An ACL's 'Requires role' field can have multiple roles separated by commas; users need only one of those roles to satisfy the requirement. D: Multiple ACLs that grant access are ORed together; if any ACL grants access, the user is allowed. E: If no ACL exists for an operation, access is denied by default. Option A is incorrect because 'deny' ACLs do not exist in ServiceNow; ACLs either grant or require conditions. Option B is incorrect because ACLs are evaluated by order of type (table, record, column, etc.) and then by the order specified in the 'Order' field, not alphabetically by name.
