Use cases for business rules include aborting a database action and restricting record access.
* **[Abort a database action](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/TM_BfY4Fg2KOg7FIbdrSMA)**   
  You can use a before business rule script to cancel or abort the current database action using the current.setAbortAction(true) method.
* **[Restricting record access](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/K4CBuSC1b_cnuPpt7J~eog)**   
  You can use a query business rule that executes before the database query to prevent users from accessing certain records.
