Use of secure insert multiple operation within import set API

Use the com.glide.import_set_api.insert_multiple_optimize property to control whether GlideRecordSecure or GlideRecord is used for the Insert Multiple operation within the Import Set API.

The com.glide.import_set_api.insert_multiple_optimize system property controls whether GlideRecordSecure or GlideRecord is used for the Insert Multiple operation within Import Set API.

If this property is set to false, then GlideRecordSecure will be used to insert records and Table level ACLs will be evaluated.

If this property is set to true, then GlideRecord will be used to insert records and Table level ACLs will not be evaluated.

Ensure that the property com.glide.import_set_api.insert_multiple_optimize is set to false.

Note: If this property must be set to true, then you must ensure that the Import Set API Insert Multiple REST Endpoint ACL (sys_id: 3101b770ff2211105cf343d0653bf182) is active and also audit user's who have the import_transformer role.
