# Enforce field level ACLs in GlideRecordSandbox

Manage field level ACLs in GlideRecordSandbox on your instance.

Use the **glide.sandbox.fields.check\_acl** property to enforce field level ACLs in GlideRecordSandbox. An example in which this property is applied is when a user can provide a script, like in **sysparm\_query**. If this property is not set to the recommended value of **true**, ACL restrictions can be bypassed, which enables sensitive data to be compromised, such as a **sys\_user.user\_password** from an unauthorized user.

**Warning:** The value for this property is a no DB override. It can't be altered or overridden.
