Hi all,
I am trying to display a Record Producer on a custom Service Portal page using the SC Catalog Item widget.
However, the widget shows the message: “You are either not authorized or record is not valid.”

Hi @Mimi Edet,
Think of this error like ServiceNow politely saying:
“I either don’t recognize what you’re asking for… or you’re not allowed to see it.”
When you try to show a record producer using the SC Catalog Item widget, the portal does a couple of silent checks in the background. If any one of them fails, it doesn’t explain much; it just throws that generic message.
If you find my answer useful, please mark it as Helpful and Correct. 😊

Even for admin it throws this error?
Do you want this record producer for public use?
