Hi,

Your question isn't very clear, but you can navigate to the user in question, scroll down to groups, add them to a group that has the role(s) you want them to inherit. Roles, for best practice sake, shouldn't be given directly to a user, but instead assigned to a group, and the user added to the group (even if it consists of one member for now).

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

The query I posted is : I created a user with ITIL role only and I need this user to be able to assign roles to other user without any catalog item or any UI Action as these functionalities we will be creating externally.

Hi,

The best practice is to create a group and tag the appropriate roles to the groups. Instead of direct role assignment using role option You should use the group which is tagged the roles.

Question - The role assignment is part of user onboarding i.e., SSO and LDAP. Why you are doing with the help of UI Action / Schedule Job.

If user is already present and user want to add the role then you should automate the process like create a catalog item to add the role in user account. If requires add the approval in the workflow and automate it.
