Email icon can be seen by Admins but not by other ITIL users.

I am trying to use the email functionality within Service Now.
I never had admin access before but got that just yesteday, and have no clue how to use that.

So basically to make the email icon visible in the blue header.. i right clicked on a change record -> Personalize -> Dictionary
on the very first record, I entered "email_client=true" and saved it.

Now i can see the email icvon when logged in as Admin.
But this should be made available to everyone.

I am missing something here, please can someone help?

Any advice will be much appreciated.
thanks.

Take a look at this wiki article - http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Enabling_the_Email_Client#Controlling_Access_to_the_Email_Client

Calgary adds an ACL to control access to the processor, but users must have write access to the record as well. In other words, for an Incident that is Closed and therefore no longer editable, users will not see the icon.

Someone hi-jacked my post.. 😞


What roles does your Change manager account have? When you look at an open Change Request, are any of the fields editable by you with that account?


Hi Jim,

Thanks for getting back to me.

With the Change Manager account -
All the fields are editable to me, I can override approvals / approve on behalf of other approvers,
I have access to the Schedulling and the Administration under change module.

However, I can not create any requests under Service Catalog (which we are using to provide templates for pre-approved Routine changes)
Therefore somehow I was given the admin access to be able to create the routine changes and for this I use the Admin account.

Cheers..
