# Enforce read ACLs on report views

Manage how Read ACLs are enforced on your instance.

The property **glide.report.report\_view.read\_acl**, when set to **enforce**, enforces the read ACL \(table level\) on reporting functions when there is no Report View ACL on the table/field.

Ensure the property **glide.report.report\_view.read\_acl** is set to **enforce**.
