Using a * ACL is considered an easy way to do what in your Access Controls?

Using a wildcard (*) in an Access Control List (ACL) is a powerful way to specify conditions for field-level access within ServiceNow. When the wildcard is used, it allows you to create ACL rules that can apply to multiple instances or a range of fields, which can be particularly useful when you want to include all fields related to a specific condition without having to list each one individually.

For example, if you want to permit read access to all fields in a table, using a wildcard allows for a more streamlined and efficient rule configuration. This is beneficial in scenarios where there are many fields, and you may want to avoid the extensive effort of configuring ACLs for each individually.

In contrast, other options either imply limitations or exclusions of access (like excluding fields) or imply broader permissions (like granting full access) which don’t leverage the specificity and efficiency that a wildcard can provide when including fields. Thus, the utilization of a wildcard in ACLs primarily serves to enhance the ability to include fields easily and effectively.
