Cannot remove roles from user

Ulrika

Hello,

I want to remove one of our fulfillers from ServiceNow. However, after removing all groups, there are still roles left and it's not possible to remove them. I found https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0793546 but it didn't work following that guide either.

 

How can I remove the roles?

Thank you in advance,
Ulrika

Other option will be: 

  • Confirm that you have this plugin installed: Contextual Security: Role Management V2 
  • Then to go to the sysauto_script table and find this job: Addresses User Has Role Errors
  • Execute the job
  • Wait until is finish ( you can review the system logs, look for this message: "Finished fix_sys_user_has_role fix job!"
