REST API user roles

Panagiotis Kons
Tera Expert

Hello,

 

I have created a new user in order to access the table API using REST calls. However I am not able to get any results, I can authenticate properly but the results returned are always empty (no results). If I add the user to group "Administrator" then everything is working fine, I can load the results with no problem. However this seems a bit too much. What are the roles/groups I need to assign to the user in order to be able to properly access the REST API?

 

I have Currently given the user the following roles:

 

rest_api_explorer

rest_service

web_service_admin

 

What else do I need to add?

 

Regards

 

Panos

For inbound integrations the solution is the following:

For users to access Table API in ServiceNow, they must have the "snc_platform_rest_api_access" role.
