Data certification Plugin

[snekrish]

Hello, 

I am looking to clarify a couple of questions I have regarding the Data Certification Plugin.

Question - 1

I understand that the plugin is deprecated in the latest versions. However, I have questions regarding the roles that get used while the plugin is activated.
There is a "certification_admin" role and a "certification" role.  What licenses would be required for users to leverage the certification_admin role and the certification role? Do both roles work only with the fulfiller license?

Question - 2
In the Xanadu version of ServiceNow,
i) Is there an alternative to using Data Certification plugin since it is deprecated?
ii) I am looking to certify data elements in non-CMDB table, will the alternate plugin meet this requirement?
iii)What roles will be required for Admins to create the tasks and for certifiers to certify their respective tasks?
iv) What license will be required for the roles in iii) (e.g., will both Admin and certifiers need fulfiller license or admin requires fulfiller and certifiers will be able to certify using the requestor role etc.)

Thank you!

Hi @snekrish 

Question - 1

I understand that the plugin is deprecated in the latest versions. However, I have questions regarding the roles that get used while the plugin is activated.

Atul: I'm not entirely sure about this, but when a plugin is deprecated, the associated roles might also get deprecated. What is the specific use case here? For licensing concerns, it's best to speak with your ServiceNow account manager.

Question - 2
In the Xanadu version of ServiceNow,
i) Is there an alternative to using the Data Certification plugin since it is deprecated?

Atul: Yes, CMDB Data Manaeger.
ii) I am looking to certify data elements in a non-CMDB table, will the alternate plugin meet this requirement?

Atul: From what I read, yes, we can use CMDB Data Manager for non-CMDB tables as well.

If you access Data Manager through CMDB Workspace, you have the option to select "Certification" for Policy Type which then allows you to select non-CMDB tables.
iii)What roles will be required for Admins to create the tasks and for certifiers to certify their respective tasks?

iv) What license will be required for the roles in iii) (e.g., will both Admin and certifiers need a fulfiller license or admin require fulfiller and certifiers will be able to certify using the requestor role etc.)

Atul: I think if you read on above links this question will be clear.  For licensing concerns, it's best to speak with your ServiceNow account manager.
