Hi @RevathiB 

Override application menu roles 

When configuring a module in ServiceNow, the Override application menu roles checkbox determines how role-based access is enforced for that module.

🔹 If Override application menu roles = false (unchecked)

1.The module inherits the roles defined on the Application Menu.

2.A user must:

Have at least one role required by the application menu, and

3. Have at least one role required by the module

This is the default and most restrictive behavior.

-If Override application menu roles = true (checked)

1.The module ignores the Application Menu’s roles.

2.Only the roles defined on the module itself are evaluated.

3.A user can see the module even if they don’t have the application menu role.

The answer is A

Hi @RevathiB 

The answer is A : Users with the module role but without access to the application menu access the
module

My application has admin role but the module shown below has itil role.

So when override application menu role is configured by selecting check box , users having itil role can access the module by overriding the application module role.

Validation:

itil user can see module even though application has admin role, hence overriding application role
