Use the ACL configuration watcher after you elevate to security_admin
role.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: security_admin

[Elevate to a privileged role](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/QSMW4UNBg6bevZDKAPGT2Q "The base system admin can elevate to a privileged role to have access to the features of High Security Settings.")

## Prozedur

1. Open an ACL that is a record-type ACL.
2. Perform an action on the ACL, such as modifying it, or selecting an option from the context menu like Insert.
3. If you modified any values on the Access Control form, right-click the header and select Save or click Update or Delete.  
   The Security Rules window appears. The system did not yet perform the
   database action on the ACL, so the changes are not yet saved.

   These are examples of security rules on the Visual Task Board application's
   Private Task \[vtb_task\] table. See [ACL configuration watcher](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OKyZnKMz2JNs4bJd~SKZ~g "The ACL configuration watcher lets you know what related ACLs exist on a table when you insert, update, or delete an ACL on the same table.") for a description of the
   items on this window.  
4. Just as with the [execution
   plan](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/0rhBj_HlNQwSndrhd~GqXw "Administrators can view how ACLs relate to each other by viewing an execution plan for any ACL in the instance."), you can click Show all to show all related ACLs, including those that are overridden and generic ACLs that apply to all records, or click Show Effective to show only the immediate ACLs related to the one you are viewing.
5. Hover your mouse over any of the ACLs to see a description.
