what is Elevated privilege?

[Sandeep Rajput]

 Elevated privileges in ServiceNow are temporary, session-based permissions given to a user to access highly sensitive administrative or security features. Users must manually turn on these special rights when they log in. These rights end when the user logs out.

An example of elevated privileges is elevating as security_admin to grant roles and make changes in ACL.

Hi @AbishekharT 

Elevated privileges in ServiceNow are an additional security measure used to protect highly sensitive administrative tasks from accidental or unauthorized changes. This special permission gets activated the permissions for your current session only.

The most common elevated privilege is the security_admin role. When elevated, this role allows administrators to perform restricted actions such as modifying High Security Settings and creating or editing Access Control Lists (ACLs), which are otherwise protected.
