Hello wonderful Servicenow gurus.

I hope my message finds you well.

 

We're using, in my org, two accounts within SN. One  regular account and one admin account for specific tasks. However we'd like to, if possible, use the regular account on the regular basis days and have a button (like "Elevate role") to give us access to our admin roles.

 

Basically, instead of having "Elevate role" for security_admin like in the PDI, we'd like to have "Elevate role" but for admin.

Hi @AhuelieW 

 

It's not recommended to update the OOB roles

 

just to let you know how to achieve this I'm adding sreenshots

1. go to roles

find admin role and update Elevated privilege as true

2. it might throw an security prevents update this field (there might be an field level acl on on role table)

if it throws the error 

find the below acl and deactivate it and go to the roles and check the elevated privilege checkbox

you should be able to make admin role as elevated role

 

but again just do this exercise just in PDI. It's not recommended to update baseline roles

Hi @Chaitanya ILCR, thanks for helping me. 

However, following your instructions didn't really help. What I want is having the admin role (or whatever role i create) available when you hit "Elevate role". So instead of having security_admin (in the PDI) i'd want to have admin or the new role i created here.
