Enrolling ACR (Account Recovery Users) looses admin role when logged in

Hi,

We have Multi SSO enabled for AUthentication (Azure)

LDAP for User provisioning

FOr Security hardening we have added users as ACR to be compliant

 

Issue: ACR users (have admin roles) when they log in are not having the admin roles anymore its only self-service .

 

If ACR looses the role there is no purpose as Account Recovery as user cant perform any SErviceNow tasks.

Can anyone help how to implement this. I have gone through ServiceNow documenttaion its straightforward but did not help.

Thanks

I don't see it right now, but somewhere in the documentation I read that Account Recovery Users have very limited permissions to address certificate issues for login, to prevent a local account from having god mode admin permissions, so it should only be used to fix login issues, not for general administrative tasks.

Did it work for you? I tried this before seeing your suggestion and it did not work.

The non-ACR enabled admin account faces an "Username or password is invalid" error on /login.do.

The ACR enabled admin account can login on /login.do with access to only SSO / cert related configurations (which is by design).

 

Even we opted to disable ACR and ignore the Healthscan recommendation because we have a particular use case where admin login via UI is necessary.

What happens to Service Accounts if we enable SSO, Any idea?

although it should not touch non-interactive logins, unfortunately, this was not the case when we enabled ACR - it killed many or our integrations in prod 🙂 apparently, there is a defect with ACR which we learned about it hard way, so be careful if you are planning to enable ACR 🙂

Defect with ACR: OAuth token fails to get access token when Account Recovery (ACR) is enabled on the instance - Known...
