- A
Configure the form layout to hide the field
Why wrong: Hiding removes it, not make read-only.
- B
Create an ACL that denies write access
Why wrong: ACL would prevent writing but the field may still appear editable.
- C
Create a UI policy that sets the field to read-only when a condition is true
UI policy can change state dynamically.
- D
Set the field attribute to 'Read only' in dictionary entry
This forces the field to be read-only always.
- E
Add the field to a related list
Why wrong: Related lists are for related records, not field state.
SNOW-CSA UI, Navigation and Forms Practice Question
This SNOW-CSA practice question tests your understanding of ui, navigation and forms. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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.
Which TWO methods allow an administrator to make a field read-only on a form? (Choose two.)
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
Create a UI policy that sets the field to read-only when a condition is true
Options B and D are correct. B: Dictionary entry can set field attribute to read-only. D: UI policy can change a field to read-only based on conditions. A is wrong because ACLs control access but not field state. C is wrong because form layout determines position, not state. E is wrong because related lists are for related records.
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.

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.
