To avoid duplicating global access control rules (ACLs) in your applications, you can
configure application file tables in application administration apps to inherit global ACLs
when no ACL rules for the scoped application are found.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin role for the application

## Procedure

1. Enter <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_scoped_admin_acl_inheritance.list</kbd> in the navigation filter.  
   The Application Administration ACL Inheritance table \[sys_scoped_admin_acl_inheritance\] opens.
2. Click New.
3. In the Table field, select an application file table (a table that extends the Application File \[sys_metadata\] table) from the application administration app.  
   Only the administrator for the application administration app can add/remove/read records owned by the application administration app in this configuration table.
4. Click Submit.  
   If no ACL rules from the application administration app are found, tables added to this list inherit global ACL rules.
