What type of record restricts access to table data and operations by requiring users to pass a set of requirements?

• A. Access Control
• B. Data Policy
• C. UI Policy
• D. Security Policy

Answer: (A)

Access control rules govern who can see and do what with data on a table. They are special records that specify the requirements a user must meet—such as specific roles or conditions—before a read or write operation is allowed. When a user tries to access a field or perform an action, the system checks these rules, and access is granted only if an applicable rule allows it. This data-layer security ensures that data is protected regardless of how the user interacts with the system. Data Policy focuses on data values and consistency during data entry, not on restricting access. UI Policy changes how forms behave on the screen, like showing or hiding fields. Security Policy is not the standard term for the access-control mechanism in ServiceNow.
