Adding SIR workspace to the Unified Navigation search context menu

Hi,

 

Has anyone added the SIR Workspace to the Unified Search who can help me out?

I followed the guide  here - https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-platform-administration/page/administer/search-administ... and it all seems to work fine for Admins,  however none admins who use the SIR workspace do not get the option to select "Security Incident Workspace"

 

I thought it may well be related to ACL's specifically sys_search_source & m2m_search_context_config_search_source 

But adding the read for the role sn_si.analyst for both "Security Incident Response" and "Security Incident Response Workspace" scopes didn't seem to change much.

If anyone else finds this.

 

Fix is to add a read acl (sn_si.read role) for the sys_search_context_config table in the security incident response scope.

Hi @Stev Williams1 

 

I don't have the SIR workspace running in any of my instances but the overall concept is the same for all workspaces. You have to check the read ACL of type "ux_route". For the Service Operations Workspace (SOW) there are two ACLs OOTB:
 - now.sow.home
 - now.sow.*

Check the ACLs for the SIR Workspace and you should be able to identify the issue.

Hi @Maik Skoddow,

 

Isn't that more about accessing the workspace?  They can access it fine it's just the search drop down they cannot (although I can as admin).  Checking the ACL's you mention there is now.sir.* for type "ux_route" with the role sn_si.read so I think that is fine.

Hi @Stev Williams1 

 

sorry you are right. I was on the wrong path. 

 

Please refer to the documentation for your question: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-platform-user-interface/page/administer/navigation-and-...
