Hello,
I want to know if out of the box (OOB), a user with the 'ITIL' role can make changes/updates to the sys_user table.
If so, Kindly share ServiceNow documentation around that.
Thanks & Regards,
Atanu Maity

@atanumaity22996 OOTB ITIL role does not have permissions to create a record on the sys_user table. However, the ITIL role has permission to update few fields on the existing sys_user record.
Following fields can be updated by the ITIL role on sys_user table.
1. First Name
2. Middle Name
3. Last Name
4. Department
Here are the snapshot of the OOTB ACLs.
Hope this helps.
