What is the GDPR solution to remove user data from service-now?

According to the GDPR rules a user can ask to be removed from all databases so there should be a procedure to remove the user from service-now. Deactivating users is not enough. Has anyone achieved this?

Currently we have user profile in AD that is imported to SNOW users table. If we delete user record from Service-Now, will that affect the other items like : Incidents, Requested ITems etc.

Yes, If you delete the user from SNOW table, the related tickets raised on behalf of the user will be effected.The details will be lost

If the rule has a problem, you can simple rename the user details by appending something like inactive,..

Hi Kirti, As per GDPR rules a user can ask to be removed from all databases from service-now. So if i delete a user record, will take effect other things like incidents etc. or only the name of the user from reference fields will become empty.

 

So my requirement is If a user record is deleted from ServiceNow, it should be removed from Servicenow but it should not affect other things , it should not delete any thing. except user record from Users table.

Only the reference (name) would become empty  be it incident or any ticket. It will not delete anything as per my understanding,

 

You can perform a test once in developer instance
