# Enforce scoped ACL access for information request playbooks \[New in Security Center 1.3 and updated in 1.5\]

Use the **glide.enforce\_security\_scope.sn\_gsm\_info\_req** property to control access to playbook data for the Information Request playbooks feature.

The Information Request Administration application enables public sector end users to submit and track public record requests and provides government agents with a pre-defined process for handling and resolving these requests. If **glide.enforce\_security\_scope.sn\_gsm\_info\_req** is not set to true, unexpected access could be granted to playbook data for the Information Request playbooks application. Set this property to true to only consider ACLs from the sn\_gsm\_info\_req scope when granting access.

</td><td>

-   Severity score: 4.3
