Issue with security admin and elevate roles

[kimmonaaly]

I'm missing the ability to Elevate Roles. To go further I don't see the security admin in of my available roles? Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi,

Is elevate roles option missing in your profile?   Once you click the elevate roles option then only you can see the security_admin role under your roles tab.

Thanks.

Hello Kim,

Somehow security_admin role is not visible to admins in Istanbul (Strange). You can try below script to assign yourself security_admin privileges

var sr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_role");
         sr.addQuery("name","security_admin"); 
         sr.query(); 
           if (sr.next()) 
         {
               var hh = new GlideRecord("sys_user_has_role"); 
               hh.initialize(); 
               hh.user = gs.getUserID();
               hh.role = sr.sys_id;
               hh.insert(); 
           }

Yep, starting in Helsinki the security_admin role is only accessible/visible to those already holding the role.

Slight amendment: the security_admin role is accessible to those who have elevated.

Once elevated, it's possible to confer the role.
