ServiceNow Certified Implementation Specialist – Project Portfolio Management — Question 41

In what way would you restrict the assigned to field on a project task to only allow users with resource allocations to be assigned?

Answer options

• A. Create an Access Control List (ACL) rule.
• B. On the project record under the preferences tab select the “Derive assignee list from resource plan” preference.
• C. The system automatically does this and can only be disabled by an admin.
• D. Create a reference qualifier on the ‘assigned to’ field.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because selecting the preference to derive the assignee list from the resource plan specifically ensures that only users with resource allocations appear in the 'assigned to' field. Option A is incorrect because an ACL rule manages access rights but does not directly filter the assignee list. Option C is misleading as it implies that the system has a default behavior that cannot be altered, which is not true. Option D is also incorrect because a reference qualifier would not achieve the same intended restriction as the preference option does.
