Hi Team,
I am getting error logs in the system logs with below message.
"Error seen in system logs - "Explicit Roles : External criteria sysID is null: no thrown error".
Can someone please advise why the error message is coming and how can we fix it.

A quick search on the wiki maybe points to this?

Hi,
This appears to be related to CSM, see explicit roles here: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-platform-administration/page/administer/contextual-securit...
Looks like it's looking for the role snc_external, possible. Please check your roles on your instance and ensure you have that role.
If not, I would try and export via xml that role from another instance and import it in to see if that resolves your issue.
Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable.
Please consider marking my reply as Helpful and/or Accept Solution, if applicable. Thanks!

Hi Allen,
The user has already snc_external role and still we are getting the error.
In the system log, the source of the error is "com.glide.ui.ServletErrorListener".
Any idea how to fix this issue?
