CSA Question #56: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Access Control rules may provide access security for which of the following database objects?

Options

• AFor a specific role, group, or user
• BFor a specific row, column, or table
• CFor specific groups
• DFor a specific CMDB Configuration item

Explanation

Access Control Lists (ACLs) in ServiceNow provide security by restricting access to specific database objects, such as a CMDB Configuration Item record.

Common mistakes.

• A. 'For a specific role, group, or user' describes the 'who' (users, roles, groups) that ACLs apply to, not the 'what' (database objects) they protect.
• B. While ACLs do secure tables, rows (records), and columns (fields), this option describes the fundamental database components that ACLs protect but is less specific to a common ServiceNow managed entity compared to a Configuration Item.
• C. 'For specific groups' is too narrow, as ACLs apply to roles and individual users as well, and it describes the 'who' rather than the 'what' object.
