Do application access controls at a table level apply to scripts executed in the Global scope?

Application access controls at a table level do not apply to scripts executed in the Global scope. This is because the Global scope is designed to allow unrestricted access to data and functionality across the ServiceNow platform. Scripts that run in the Global scope have the ability to bypass table-level access controls, providing them with elevated privileges to interact with tables and data without being constrained by the typical security restrictions that apply when operating within a specific application scope.

When scripts run in their respective application scopes, they are subject to the access controls defined for tables, ensuring that only authorized users or processes can interact with the data according to the defined rules. However, the Global scope is meant for shared functionality and utility across applications, allowing developers to write code that is not limited by those access controls.

By understanding this concept, it is clear why the notion that application access controls apply in the Global scope is incorrect; it supports the flexible and integrated nature of platform-wide operations while ensuring that scripts created in specific scopes maintain their required security measures.
