Why each option
In ServiceNow, security rules that define user permissions for viewing and interacting with data are known as Access Control Rules (ACLs).
"CRUD Rules" refers to the types of operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) that ACLs control, but it is not the name of the security rules themselves.
Access Control Rules (ACLs) are the fundamental security mechanism in ServiceNow that determine what data users can access and what operations (create, read, write, delete) they can perform on specific records or fields. These rules are evaluated against roles, conditions, and scripts to enforce granular security permissions across the platform.
Role Assignment Rules govern how roles are assigned to users, not how users interact with data.
"Scripted User Rules" is not a standard term for ServiceNow security rules.
User Authentication Rules deal with verifying user identity upon login, not with permissions to access data post-authentication.
