CSA · Question #93
Access Control rules are applied to a specific table, like the Incident table. What is the object name for a rule that is specific to the Incident table and the Major Incident field?
The correct answer is E. incident.major_incident. The correct object name for an Access Control Rule (ACL) targeting a specific field on a table uses a dot separator between the table name and the field name, in lowercase.

Why each option
The correct object name for an Access Control Rule (ACL) targeting a specific field on a table uses a dot separator between the table name and the field name, in lowercase.
ACL object names for tables and fields are typically lowercase in ServiceNow, making 'Incident.Major_Incident' incorrect due to capitalization.
The `=>` symbol is not the correct separator used in ServiceNow for specifying an ACL rule for a field on a table.
The `<=>` symbol is not the correct separator used in ServiceNow for specifying an ACL rule for a field on a table.
The `||` symbol is not the correct separator used in ServiceNow for specifying an ACL rule for a field on a table.
In ServiceNow, the standard naming convention for an Access Control List (ACL) rule that applies to a particular field within a table is `table_name.field_name`. Therefore, for the 'Incident' table and the 'Major Incident' field, the object name is `incident.major_incident`, ensuring consistent lowercasing for table and field names.
