Short answer: No, not normally.
Promotion boards don't normally have access to the restricted folders of your iPERMS. However, if the board president believes the information is crucial to the selection process, they can request access to specific information in the restricted folders to the Army G1.
Boards that would normally have access to the restricted folders would be of the type of "we want to make sure there isn't some skeleton in the closet before we select them to be in a critical position or a high visibility one" (Promotion go O6/E9, selection as a GO enlisted aide, etc.).

Can the SFC board see into my restricted file? Can I get derogatory information moved? |...
I have an article 15 for an assault back 6 years ago and a gomor for a DWI 4 years ago. Art 15 was filed in my restricted. Gomor in my performance. Both happened as a sgt and I'm a ssg now. What can I do to mitigate this in terms of moving it or having it removed? Appreciate any advice.

SSG (Join to see), as a board member of a Centralized Selection Board, we board members did not review restricted files. We did, however, review derogatory information that was available to board members filed in the Soldier's OMPF, including letters filed by the Soldier.
As COL Randall C. stated, the board president can request a review of a Soldier's restricted file, being very specific about what information is being requested. Likewise, a Soldier under consideration can also request that the board review information in their restricted file.

SMSgt Sheila Berg, there are six primary folders (files, areas, etc.) within someone's Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) - Performance, Service, Restricted, Flight, Medical, and State/Territory. Four of those folders (Performance, Service, Medical, and State/Territory) have secondary folders (subfolder) underneath them.
"Disciplinary" is a subfolder underneath the Performance folder where all disciplinary records are kept unless specifically moved to the restricted folder.
While access to a Soldier's OMPF is limited by the group/individual or the situation where the information is needed, the Restricted folder has greater limitations - the most notable is that most promotion boards will never see it (they will see your Performance folder though).
"Derogatory" is the term for unfavorable information. While there isn't formally a "Derogatory file", when it comes to your OMPF, often the Disciplinary subfolder is referred to as that ("Derogatory file") as that's where the majority of it ends up when entered into your records.
