In ServiceNow, Access Control Rules (ACLs) determine who can create, read, write, delete, or execute records within a table. Each ACL rule evaluates three main permission requirements, all of which must be true for the rule to apply. These requirements are:

The Conditions field in an ACL specifies predefined logic that must be met for the rule to apply.

Example: An ACL might specify that a record is only accessible if the State field is set to "Open".

Conditions are evaluated first before checking roles or scripts.

ACLs can be restricted to users with specific roles.

If a user does not have the required role(s), the ACL denies access.

Example: Only users with the "itil" role can edit incidents.

If the ACL does not specify any role, all users may be eligible based on conditions and script evaluations.

ACL scripts provide advanced conditional logic using server-side JavaScript.

Scripts allow complex rule evaluation, such as checking whether a user is the record’s creator.

Example: A script could restrict access to records where current.requested_for == gs.getUserID() (only allow users to see their own requests).

If a script is present in an ACL, it must return true for access to be granted.

Access control rules are only granted when all three evaluations return true.

Conditions act as filters.

Roles define permissions based on user roles.

Scripts allow advanced access logic.

1. Conditions (A - Correct Answer)2. Roles (C - Correct Answer)3. Script (D - Correct Answer)Why "A. Conditions," "C. Roles," and "D. Script" are the Correct Answers?

B. Table – Incorrect

Access control applies to specific tables, but defining a table itself is not one of the permission checks.

E. Table." – Incorrect

This is an incorrectly formatted option and does not relate to access control evaluation.

F. Table.none – Incorrect

"Table.none" is not an evaluation factor in ACLs. Access control applies to table-level, field-level, and record-level, but "table.none" is not an access requirement.

The three-bar icon in the Form header of ServiceNow is commonly referred to as the Hamburger icon. It provides access to additional form actions through a context menu.

Opens a drop-down menu with options such as:

Configure Form Layout

Configure Form Design

Insert and Stay

View History

Export Options

Helps users access quick actions without navigating away from the form.

The icon consists of three horizontal lines, resembling a hamburger (bun-patty-bun).

This naming convention is widely used in web and mobile UI design.

Functions of the Hamburger Icon in ServiceNow:Why is it Called a "Hamburger Icon"?

Incorrect Answer Choices Explanation:❌ A. Pancake Icon – No such term exists in ServiceNow UI terminology.

❌ B. Additional Actions or Context Menu – While the icon does provide additional actions, "Context Menu" refers to right-click options or three-dot menus, not the three-bar menu.

❌ D. Cake Icon – No such UI term exists in ServiceNow or general UI design.

Official CSA Documentation Reference:

When using High Security Settings in ServiceNow, administrators often gain temporary elevated privileges. To revert to normal security levels, they must log out and back in to refresh their session.

High Security Settings provide elevated security configurations and may override standard role-based access controls.

Logging out clears any temporary security settings and restores normal administrator privileges.

This is the recommended practice after making security changes.

Why is Option B Correct?

Why Are the Other Options Incorrect?❌ A. Select Normal role

Incorrect because there is no "Normal" role in ServiceNow.

❌ C. Use System Administration > Normal Security module

Incorrect because there is no "Normal Security" module in ServiceNow.

❌ D. Select Global Update Set

Incorrect because Update Sets control customizations and configurations, not security settings.

❌ E. End Impersonation

Incorrect because ending impersonation only switches back to the admin account if you were impersonating a user.

It does not reset security settings from High Security Mode.
