ServiceNow Learning 143: Flow Designer features in ServiceNow

[Shamma Negi]

Features are elements of the Flow Designer UI. When feature filtering is turned off, users with the flow_designer role have access to all of the Flow Designer features. When feature filtering is turned on, you can specify which roles a user must have to access individual features.

Note: Your users must have the flow_designer role to create and edit flows. You can specify the additional roles that a user must have to access particular features or content.
