# Use of secure insert multiple operation within import set API

Use the **com.glide.import\_set\_api.insert\_multiple\_optimize** property to control whether GlideRecordSecure or GlideRecord is used for the Insert Multiple operation within the Import Set API.

The **com.glide.import\_set\_api.insert\_multiple\_optimize** system property controls whether GlideRecordSecure or GlideRecord is used for the Insert Multiple operation within Import Set API.

If this property is set to **false**, then GlideRecordSecure will be used to insert records and Table level ACLs will be evaluated.

If this property is set to **true**, then GlideRecord will be used to insert records and Table level ACLs will not be evaluated.

Ensure that the property **com.glide.import\_set\_api.insert\_multiple\_optimize** is set to **false**.

**Note:** If this property must be set to **true**, then you must ensure that the **Import Set API Insert Multiple** REST Endpoint ACL \(sys\_id: 3101b770ff2211105cf343d0653bf182\) is active and also audit user's who have the **import\_transformer** role.
