The Audit Admin assigns a Field Service for Audit role to a person or group to enable them to create, view, update, or delete audit tasks.

## Before you begin

The Audit Admin performing this task must have role-management access on the ServiceNow instance. Field Service for Audit must be installed.

Identify the correct role before proceeding:
