Which approach is good to assign the admin role to the user?

Hello Community,

I want to know the best practices to assign the admin role to the particular user.

hi,

Any roles should be provided via group in ServiceNow, that is the recommendation.

Group has the role, and then any member of that group inherits the role.

Hi @AnkitT 

Create Group and add user and assign role to group.

Hello @AnkitT ,

You should not assign the admin role to particular user for the platform, you can use delegated admin role if you are working in scoped application if still you need to provide an admin role to user, you can time related user roles.

Note: ServiceNow does not recommends assigning a role to particular user, you can create a group and assign the admin role to that group and add the user into that group.

@AnkitT Roles should ideally be assigned via groups and shouldn't be assigned directly to the user.
