# Create consumer grants

# Create consumer grants {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 18, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Create consumer grants to specify which identity groups can access which alias groups.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin or cryptographic_manager

An alias group must already be created. See [Create an alias group](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/0eRcY3~tlrJ9S8ntWTJ3cg "Create an alias group to organize secrets and define where they are stored in ServiceNow.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to All, type sys_secret_alias_consumer.list into the search box and select Enter.  
   Note:  
   Two consumer grants are included in the base system: Default MID alias consumer and Outbound Security Alias Consumer.
2. Select New.
3. Complete the fields as shown in the following table.  
   {#usg-create-consumer-grants__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Alias Group | Select the alias group this consumer grant will apply to. This grant provides access only to secrets in the selected alias group. |
   | Consumer Type | Select identity_group to grant access to a group of members or sys_service to grant access to a specific service. |
   | Consumer Location | Select external for external callers (such as MID Servers) or glide for platform-internal access. |
   [ ]

4. Select Submit.

## What to do next

If you created a custom identity group and have not yet added members to it, add members to complete your configuration. See [Add members to an identity group](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/jHmm8QlyHFaSdsLWp_~8VQ "Add existing members to an identity group to control which entities can access secrets through consumer grants.").
