  • Roles, not groups: ServiceNow uses roles to define permissions and access levels. Key administrative roles include:

    • admin: This role grants the highest level of privilege, essentially full access to the system.
    • security_admin: Focuses on security-related configurations and user/group management.
    • Other specialized admin roles: There are roles for specific admin functions (e.g., network admin, ITOM admin)
  • Users are assigned roles: Administrators are typically users who have been assigned one or more of these administrative roles.

  • Groups can help, but aren't the core: Groups in ServiceNow are more for organization and assignment of tasks/records. You could create a group called "Administrators" and add users with admin roles to it. However, this group itself doesn't automatically grant admin rights.

  • BEST PRACTICE
    • Create User
    • Create Group
    • Placed the user(s) into the group
    • Assign roles to the group

Where do I find System Security?

That's a broad question. To best assist you, could you please provide more details about what you're looking for?

I understand. When you say "System Security," are you referring to the security settings that administrators use?
