Summary


In this chapter, we learned all about users, including what constitutes a user, how to impersonate users for testing, how users can control notifications and preferences, and how we as administrators can interact with them. We also learned about security; specifically, ACLs, also known as security rules, which are primarily (but not solely) responsible for controlling access to tables, records, and fields in ServiceNow.
