Xanadu	Use the Access Simulator module under the ServiceNow® Access Analyzer V3 tool to simulate the user access and understand the implications of providing additional access to the users. Use the enhanced System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) API endpoints for CRUD operations. Access Analyzer extends support of Query operation (Query Match & Query range) for Evaluate access, Compare user access, and Simulate access features. See Identity for more information.
Yokohama	Yokohama Patch 11 Configure AI Agents or AI users by selecting the AI option from the Identity drop-down menu. Use the ai_user_admin role for creating, editing, and role management of AI users. Using the role you can view, create, edit, assign roles to, and delete users with the identity type as AI. Use role masking for AI agents and agentic workflows to limit the inherited roles during tool execution, verifying that AI agents run with restricted privileges, minimizing potential security risks and helping prevent unintended actions. To learn more, see Role masking. Yokohama Patch 10 Use Federated ID to uniquely identify roles across multiple instances. Federated ID provides a unique identifier for roles, making it easier to manage and track them across instances. To know more, see Exploring Federated ID. Yokohama Use the Access Insights module in the ServiceNow® Access Analyzer V4 tool to get access insights of your users, while comparing the user access. Assign the access_analyzer_admin role to the users to access and administer the Access Analyzer. See Identity for more information.
