Rest API to fetch details of uploaded update sets

[Ayush Thakur1]

Hi everyone, I am working on some integrations with ServiceNow. I have a requirement in which I need to check if there is an update set uploaded in the ServiceNow instance. I want to know if a Rest API is available to fetch details of already uploaded update sets or check whether a specific update set is present in our ServiceNow instance.

You could try a GET

https://instance_name.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_update_set

This API works fine for admin. But if a normal user (who is not an admin) sends a request we get 403 forbidden status code and response as:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "User Not Authorized",
        "detail": "User is unauthorized to access table: sys_update_set"
    },
    "status": "failure"
}

Is there any other way to fulfill this request from a normal user or any other API from which we can get details?
