Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying to request a Personal Developer Instance for the Zurich release, but every time it provisions me as aes.creator with no “Change User Role” option.
I’ve already released and re-requested multiple instances, cleared cache, and tried different browsers, but it keeps happening.
I’m not part of a company — just learning ServiceNow personally.
Has anyone found a fix for this or had Developer Support reset their account?
Thanks,
Daream

Hi @dareamb
New PDIs on Zurich+ may be provisioned with the aes.creator role instead of full admin access. This limits platform capabilities
There's no "Change User Role" option in the user record.
This can happen even if you're just a personal developer (not in a company or AES program).
Thanks,
Vignesh

@vignesh parthib - did you copy this reply from ChatGPT? It makes no sense!
@dareamb - ignore this and try what @Dr Atul G- LNG has suggested.

@Simon Hendery you have never heard of Zurich+? 😂
I believe the Community standards shall be updated due to this irresponsible behaviour, my reflection:

EDIT: or if you cannot help it and must copy paste some genAI content without own validation, then at least mention the source "answer by chatGPT"..
