SNOW-CSA Application Rules, ACL and Notifications Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are valid ways to control the visibility of a field on a form for specific users?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse Data Policies (which control mandatory/read-only behavior) with UI Policies (which control visibility), or assume that server-side Business Rules can directly manipulate client-side form visibility without a client-side trigger.
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's 'visible' attribute to false based on user role
A UI Policy runs on the client side and can set the 'visible' attribute of a field to false based on conditions such as user role. This directly controls the field's visibility on the form for specific users without affecting server-side access.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create a UI Policy that sets the field's 'visible' attribute to false based on user role
Why this is correct
UI Policies run client-side and can modify field visibility.
- ✗
Create a Data Policy with a read condition
Why it's wrong here
Data policies can restrict read access but do not hide fields; they prevent the field from being read, but the field might still appear blank.
- ✓
Create an ACL with type 'field' and operation 'read' set to 'no access' for unwanted roles
Why this is correct
Field ACLs can deny read access, effectively hiding the field from those users.
- ✗
Create a Client Script that sets g_form.setVisible() on load
Why it's wrong here
While possible, it is not a standard method compared to UI Policies and ACLs.
- ✗
Create a Business Rule that hides the field
Why it's wrong here
Business rules run server-side and cannot directly hide fields on the form.
