ACL troubleshooting includes identifying ACL rule errors and use the debugging tools to fix the ACL related problems.

## Access analyzer {#r_ACLTroubleshoot__section_nlt_rpb_23c}

Access analyzer helps the administrators to view permissions for the selected user, role, or group. It is a diagnostic security tool that provides comprehensive visibility into resource permissions and access controls at the
Access Control List (ACL) level, enabling you to understand who has access to their resources, identify overly permissive configurations, and maintain least-privilege access principles. To learn more about how to use the tool,
see [Access Analyzer](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/fLmEAMeSTtgVriWPIdvwjQ "ServiceNow Access Analyzer is an access diagnostic tool designed for AI administrators or creators to validate the access controls configured within various resources and agentic assets (agentic workflows and AI agents).").

## Enable debugging

Enable debugging to help troubleshoot an issue.

| Error or symptom | Solution |
|-|-|
| You cannot access records from a custom table. | Create a table ACL rule for the custom table granting users access to the table. Without an explicit table ACL rule, users must pass the permissions in the table wildcard (\*) ACL rule, which by default restricts access to administrators only. Enable [debugging](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jTZO3KD3eCi2xPOWIMMTHg "Field level debugging and access ACL rule output messages are available to help you troubleshoot and debug ACLs. The ACL configuration watcher lets you know what related ACLs exist when you modify one.") and determine what ACL rules are evaluated for the custom table. |
| You create a custom ACL rule that does not work properly. | The most likely problems are that another rule takes precedence over your custom rule in the processing order or that the user does not meet all the permission requirements for the object type. Enable [debugging](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jTZO3KD3eCi2xPOWIMMTHg "Field level debugging and access ACL rule output messages are available to help you troubleshoot and debug ACLs. The ACL configuration watcher lets you know what related ACLs exist when you modify one.") and verify that the ACL rule is being evaluated. |
| Your field ACL rule does not work properly. | There is likely a table ACL rule that the user has not met. Enable [debugging](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jTZO3KD3eCi2xPOWIMMTHg "Field level debugging and access ACL rule output messages are available to help you troubleshoot and debug ACLs. The ACL configuration watcher lets you know what related ACLs exist when you modify one.") and determine what ACL rules are evaluated for the field. Verify that there is not a conflicting table ACL rule or duplicate field ACL rule. |
| Your table ACL rule does not work properly. | There is either an ACL rule higher in the processing order or a duplicate table ACL rule interfering with the table ACL rule. Enable [debugging](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jTZO3KD3eCi2xPOWIMMTHg "Field level debugging and access ACL rule output messages are available to help you troubleshoot and debug ACLs. The ACL configuration watcher lets you know what related ACLs exist when you modify one.") and determine what ACL rules are evaluated for the table. |
| You can see a field in a list but not in form. | It is possible that the ACL rule conditions or script are being triggered in the list but not in the form. Enable [debugging](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jTZO3KD3eCi2xPOWIMMTHg "Field level debugging and access ACL rule output messages are available to help you troubleshoot and debug ACLs. The ACL configuration watcher lets you know what related ACLs exist when you modify one.") and determine when the ACL rules evaluate to true. Update the conditions or script to have the same behavior on the list and form. |
| You receive an error message when trying to execute a processor or client-callable script include. | There is an ACL rule for the processor or client-callable script include that the user has not met. If the user should have access to the object, enable [debugging](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jTZO3KD3eCi2xPOWIMMTHg "Field level debugging and access ACL rule output messages are available to help you troubleshoot and debug ACLs. The ACL configuration watcher lets you know what related ACLs exist when you modify one.") and determine what ACL rules are evaluated for the processor or script include. Update the ACL rule or the user roles as needed to access the object. |
