How does the role - 'role_delegator' work?

[alekhya6]

Chuck Tomasi's Blog Hello,

I am interested to know how the 'role_delegator' role works.

Can the users with the role 'role_delegator' have the ability to add roles to other users? If yes, then i see that the users do not have access to the Edit button to give roles.

Looking forward for some help on this.

Thanks in Advance!

From the documentation (https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/sandiego-platform-administration/page/administer/roles/task/t_RoleDelegation.html): 

 "A role delegator can assign roles to users who are in a particular user group. ... The roles that delegators can assign to other users include the roles that the delegator inherits from a group and those roles that the administrator assigns to the delegator."
