Can read

</td><td>

Select the check box to allow script objects from other application scopes to read records stored in this table. This option offers runtime protection.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Can write

</td><td>

Select the check box to allow script objects from other application scopes to modify records stored in this table. This option offers runtime protection. For example, a script in another application can modify a field value on this table. This option is available only when the **Can read** check box is selected.

 Clear the check box to prevent script objects from other application scopes from modifying data stored in this table.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Can create

</td><td>

Select the check box to allow script objects from other application scopes to create records in this table. This option offers runtime protection. For example, a script in another application can insert a new record in this table. This option is available only when the **Can read** check box is selected.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Can delete

</td><td>

Runtime access determines if an API or web service call can run against an application table.
-   **[Design-time access to application tables](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/c_DesignTimeAccessToAppTables.md)**  
As the application developer, you can grant or deny other applications the permission to create configuration records, also known as application files, that extend the functionality of an application.
