Enable pa\_dashboard records in scoped applications

task brazil Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read enable-pa-db-records-scoped-apps.md

When application administration is enabled for a scoped application, access control list (ACL) rules for the scoped application are applied. To allow your scope to use the ACLs defined on the [pa_dashboards] table but out of your scoped app, inherit the [pa_dashboards] ACLs.

Before you begin

Role required: admin.

Scope required: the scope of your application.

Procedure

Set the system property glide.security.scoped_administration.honor_global_acl to true.

Often this property is already set to true, so additional update is not necessary. For more information, see Add a system property.
Switch the scope to the scope that the dashboard is created in.

The user should be that scope's application administrator.
Navigate to sys_scoped_admin_acl_inheritance_list.do.
Create a record for the PA Dashboards [pa_dashboards] table and select Submit.
Create a record for each of these tables:
- Portal Page [sys_portal_page]
- Tabs [pa_tabs]
- Dashboard Permissions [pa_dashboards_permissions]
If multiple reports have the same issue, create a record for each of these tables:
- Reports [sys_report]
- Report Users and Groups [sys_report_users_groups]

# Enable pa\_dashboard records in scoped applications

When application administration is enabled for a scoped application, access control list \(ACL\) rules for the scoped application are applied. To allow your scope to use the ACLs defined on the \[pa\_dashboards\] table but out of your scoped app, inherit the \[pa\_dashboards\] ACLs.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin.

Scope required: the scope of your application.

## Procedure

1. Set the system property **glide.security.scoped\_administration.honor\_global\_acl** to true.

Often this property is already set to true, so additional update is not necessary. For more information, see [Add a system property](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/t_AddAPropertyUsingSysPropsList.md).

2. Switch the scope to the scope that the dashboard is created in.

The user should be that scope's application administrator.

3. Navigate to sys\_scoped\_admin\_acl\_inheritance\_list.do.

4. Create a record for the PA Dashboards \[pa\_dashboards\] table and select **Submit**.

5. Create a record for each of these tables:

- Portal Page \[sys\_portal\_page\]
- Tabs \[pa\_tabs\]
- Dashboard Permissions \[pa\_dashboards\_permissions\]
6. If multiple reports have the same issue, create a record for each of these tables:

- Reports \[sys\_report\]
- Report Users and Groups \[sys\_report\_users\_groups\]
