I'm trying to determine whether the sys_user_visibility table in ServiceNow provides a complete list of all domains a user has access to. Specifically, does this table include domains inherited through user groups, or should I also consider other tables such as sys_user_group_visibility?
From my initial testing, it appears that sys_user_visibility does include domains inherited via group membership, which suggests it may already provide a comprehensive view of domain access for a user.
Could anyone confirm if this understanding is correct, or if there are additional tables or considerations I should be aware of?

Hi @SB87
You’re on the right track .
sys_user_visibility does indeed provide the complete list of domains a user can access, including those inherited via group membership. sys_user_group_visibility is only useful if you want to trace the inheritance path; it’s not needed to calculate the final access list.

Hi @SB87
Yes, your understanding is mostly correct. The sys_user_visibility table does include domains inherited via group membership. When a user is a member of a group that has domain access, the effective visibility for the user is reflected in sys_user_visibility.

@Dr Atul - LNG I am confused by what is meant by "mostly correct" in your reply. I am unable to view the knowledge article you have linked in your other comment.
Is it correct the sys_user_visibility can be used to determine all domains a user can view? If not, what else is required?
Many thanks.

Hi @SB87
Sorry for the wrong word selection. Your understanding is correct. You need a ServiceNow ID / linked ID to open this site.
