Module 1-3 Study Guide Flashcards
Baseline Implementation
Set of installed applications on a servicenow Instance
Instance
Copy of an environment specific to a customer

Production
Non-Production
Developement

Personal Developer Instance
What are the 5 persona types
System Administrator
Specialized Administrator
Process User
Approver
Requester
Can users with admin role impersonate a security_admin?
No -
Process User Definition
Fulfillers, or process users. They are often doing things associated with ITIL best practices. (they go in and respond to requests, and fulfill the needs of users)
Approver Definition
They may have approval processes, but do not require back end access. These users have the “Approver_User” role, but no other roles
Requester Definition
Very little responsibility, usually used like end users, ESS users, Self-Service, etc.
How does the Impersonator role work?
Impersonator roles can be assigned to a user to allow impersonation of other users, excluding admins, for testing and visibility purposes
Users are represented by a record on the….
User [Sys_User] Table
Groups are represented by a record on the…
Group [Sys_User_Group] table
A role is…
Collection of permissions used to grant access to applications, or assign security rights
A role can…
Be assigned to a group, or a single user
Contain other roles
A user can have more than one role (T/F?)
True
