How to create Non Human User in ServiceNow

Ajit

Hi Experts,

 

Does ServiceNow supports non human users? 

I went through https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-platform-administration/page/administer/users-and-group...

 

Web service access only - Is this configuration parameter that distinguishes between human account and non-human account?

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi @Ajit 

Seems you are talking about Service Accounts. 

 

Create a services account in ServiceNow. Login to ServiceNow and navigate to system security > users and groups > users. Click on New.

The two checkboxes on the user form that pertain to service users (non-human users) are

  • Web service access only: This user may not access the UI and may only interact with ServiceNow using APIs.
  • Internal Integration User. This user is typically used in places like placeholder assignments and "Run as" fields on scheduled jobs and should not be logged into by a human user.

A user designated as either one (or both) of these checkboxes should be considered as a non-human service account. They also don't consume Per-User licences - regardless of whether they're assigned licensed roles to grant them access to relevant APIs - but they would consume Unrestricted User licences.
