roles needed to have read-only access to system tables

[fmaccioni]

Hello experts,

how do I determine the roles needed to have read-only access to system tables?
I'm building an external integration via REST APIs and must document the user's role requirements.

I'm using these API endpoints:
/api/now/table/sys_choice
/api/now/table/sys_db_object

You should check the ACLs on these tables...

You may need to create another role and add the role to the read acls of these tables. And assign the role to Service Account.

Navigate to System Security->Access Controls and search the table name in the name field of ACL
