No need to worry — this is a known issue with PDIs these days. Please follow the steps below:
-
Log in to developer.servicenow.com.
-
Go to your Profile.
-
Select Change User Role.
-
Change the role from AES to Admin.
-
Save your changes.
-
Log out, then log back in to your PDI instance.
If the issue still persists, you can release the instance and provision a new one.
This is a fairly common issue with PDIs recently. Also, please note that since there’s no official support for PDIs, it might take a few attempts — but keep trying.
Workaround:
If it's still not working, try this workaround:
-
Assign the admin role
-
Log out and log back in
-
Then assign the AES role
-
After that, reassign the admin role
This sequence has worked in some cases.
