77
what is a solution to the following error or symptom regarding ACL rules: You cannot access records from a custom table
Create a table ACL rule for the custom table granting users access to the table. Witout an explicit table ACL rule users must pass the permissions in the table wildcard (\*) ACL rule which by default restricts access to admins only. Enable debugging and determine what ACL rules are evaluated for the custom table.
78
what is a solution to the following error or symptom regarding ACL rules: You create a custom ACL rule that does not work properly
The most likely problem is that another rule is taking precedence over your custom rule in the processing order or that the user does not meet all the permission requirements for the object type. Enable debugging and verify that the ACL rule is being evaluated
79
what is a solution to the following error or symptom regarding ACL rules: Your field ACL rule does not work properly
There is likely a table ACL rule that the user has not met. Enable debugging and determine what ACL rules are evaluated for the field. Verify that there is not a conflicting table ACL rule or duplicate field ACL rule.
80
what is a solution to the following error or symptom regarding ACL rules: Your table ACL rule does not work properly
there is either an ACL rule higher in th eprocessing order or a duplicate table ACL rule interfering with the table ACL rule. Enable debugging and determine what ACL rules evaluated for the table.
81
You can see a field in a list but not in a form
It is possible that the ACL rule conditions or script are being triggered in the list but not in the form. Enable debugging and determine when the ACL rules evaluate to true. Update the conditions or script to have the same behavior on the list and form.
82
You receive an error message when trying to execute a processor or client-callable script include
There is an ACL rule for the processor or client-callable script include that the user has not met. If the user should have access to the object, enable debugging and determine what ACL rules are evaluated for the processor or script include. Update the ACL rule or the user roles as needed to access the object.

they can be client-callable script includes, Processors, UI pages, and records
84
