Use the com.snc.process_flow.reporting.require_flow_access
property to enforce if an additional access check is required for a user to read a flow
check.
When the com.snc.process_flow.reporting.require_flow_access
property is set to the recommended value of true, there is an additional access
check for a user trying to read a flow context. There may be minor information
disclosure if this property is set to false.

| Attribute | Description |
|-|-|
| Configuration name | com.snc.process_flow.reporting.require_flow_access |
| Configuration type | System Properties (/sys_properties_list.do) |
| Data type | Boolean |
| Recommended value | true |
| Default value | true |
| Category | [Access control](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/xAmazkRh5FKyeb7q4TQGWw "The access control category audits the process of protecting resources from unauthorized access through granting and denying requests based on a permission model. This includes ensuring an entity accessing a resource holds valid credentials to do so, creating and protecting a well-defined set of roles or permissions and ensuring role or permission controls are protected from replay and tampering.") |
| Security risk | * Severity score: 2.7 * CVSS score: Low * Security risk details: Setting this property to false retains its existing behavior. Setting this property to true enforces the added security layer of read access. {#sc-restrict-flow-context-read-access__ul_g1g_3sf_xwb} |
| Dependencies and prerequisites | None |
| Functional impact | When this property is enabled, the security for reading flow context records are increased. The instance enforces that a user trying to read the flow context has read access to the parent flow as well. |
