SNOW-CSA Application Rules, ACL and Notifications Practice Question

Which THREE of the following statements about ACL evaluation are true? (Choose three.)

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.
