In ServiceNow, roles determine what users can see and do within the platform.

The IT user only sees the Self-Service homepage instead of the full ServiceNow interface, including task records.

This suggests that their account does not have the necessary role(s) to access task records.

Issue:Why the Correct Answers?✅ D. Their user account does not have the itil role

The itil role is required to work with ITSM task records (e.g., Incidents, Problems, Changes).

Without this role, users only have access to the Self-Service portal.

✅ E. Their user account does not belong to any groups, which contain the itil role

Even if a user is not directly assigned the itil role, they can inherit it through a group membership.

If their user account is not part of an ITSM-related group that has the itil role, they will not be able to access tasks.

A. Their user account failed LDAP authentication → ❌ Incorrect

If LDAP authentication failed, the user would not be able to log in at all.

In this case, they are logged in but only see Self-Service, meaning authentication is not the issue.

B. Their user account is not logged in properly → ❌ Incorrect

If the login was incorrect, they would be logged out or receive an error message.

The issue here is a lack of permissions, not a login failure.

C. Their user account was not approved by their manager → ❌ Incorrect

Manager approval is not required for standard ITSM roles and access.

User Roles in ServiceNow

Assigning Roles and Group Memberships

Official ServiceNow Documentation Reference:

The ServiceNow platform provides pre-built workflows that help organizations automate processes across different domains. These workflows are designed to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance user experience. The three primary types of workflows included in the platform are:

Employee Workflows – Designed to improve employee experiences, covering HR services, onboarding, workplace services, and more.

Customer Workflows – Focused on customer service management (CSM), case management, field service management, and proactive customer engagement.

IT Workflows – These workflows enable IT Service Management (ITSM), IT Operations Management (ITOM), and IT Business Management (ITBM) for efficient IT operations.

B. Infrastructure Workflows ❌ – No specific "Infrastructure Workflows" exist as a built-in category in ServiceNow. Infrastructure processes are generally managed under IT Workflows (ITOM/ITSM).

C. Federal Workflows ❌ – Not an official workflow category. Federal agencies use ServiceNow’s Government, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions, but this is not classified as a workflow.

D. Manufacturing Workflows ❌ – ServiceNow does not have a dedicated "Manufacturing Workflows" category. However, manufacturers often use Customer and IT Workflows for managing operations.

UI Actions related to Lists in ServiceNow provide ways to interact with and modify list data through different UI elements.

A. List Links ✅

Appear at the bottom of lists and provide actions such as "Create New" or "Save as Template."

B. List Control ✅

Located in the list title bar, allowing users to configure views, export data, and refresh lists.

C. List Buttons ✅

Buttons added to a list form that trigger specific actions, such as "Approve" or "Reject."

D. List Context Menu ✅

Right-click menu on list records providing actions like Edit, Delete, Assign, and Export.

E. List Override ❌

No such feature called "List Override" exists in ServiceNow.

F. List Choices ❌

This term is not a recognized UI Action for lists in ServiceNow.

When selecting a Target Table for an Import Set, you must choose a table that exists within the ServiceNow system and falls within your scope of permissions. The following types of tables are eligible as target tables:

Tables within the Global Scope (A - Correct Answer)

If the table exists within the global application scope, it is accessible from all applications.

Example: Task [task], User [sys_user], Configuration Item [cmdb_ci]

Tables within the Existing Application Scope (B - Correct Answer)

Tables belonging to the same application scope as the import set can be selected.

Example: If you are working in a scoped application like HR Service Delivery, you can import data into HR-related tables.

Related Tables Using Dot Walk (E - Correct Answer)

You can select related tables using dot-walking to reference data from linked tables.

Example: If importing into Incident [incident], you can reference data from Caller (sys_user) via dot-walking.

C. Tables outside of ServiceNow

ServiceNow cannot directly import data into external databases or non-ServiceNow tables.

Instead, you can export data to an external system after processing.

D. Tables which allow write access to other applications

ServiceNow enforces scope protection, so you cannot write to tables in a different application scope unless explicitly allowed.

You need cross-scope privileges to modify tables in another application.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect?Official ServiceNow Documentation Reference:

When you create a new table in ServiceNow, best practices for the navigation pane ensure that the table is properly organized, accessible, and follows role-based visibility standards.

Modules allow users to navigate directly to the table from the left navigation pane.

Setting role-based access ensures that only authorized users can view or use the table.

Navigate to System Definition > Modules, and define who can access the module using roles.

This ensures consistency in navigation and makes it easier for users to locate the table.

Example: If you create a table "Project Tasks", the Application Menu should also be named "Project Tasks".

This follows ServiceNow UI best practices for organization.

1. Specify which Roles can see the Module (✅ Correct - C)2. Create an Application Menu with the Same Name as the Table Label (✅ Correct - E)

A. Set the filter condition on the Application Menu → ❌ Incorrect

Application Menus do not require filter conditions; they are for grouping related modules under a category.

B. Set the font style on both the Application Menu and the Module → ❌ Incorrect

Font styles are not customizable in the navigation pane.

D. Specify which Roles can see the Application Menu → ❌ Incorrect

The Application Menu itself is usually visible to all users unless restricted by module-level roles.

The best practice is to restrict roles at the module level (Correct Answer: C).

F. Create a Module with the Plural of the Table Label → ❌ Incorrect

While it is a common practice, it is not a strict best practice.

Example: If your table is "Incident", the module is typically named "Incidents", but it’s not a mandatory rule.

To allow a new employee to work on tasks assigned to the Network and Hardware groups, they must have:

A User Account (sys_user) created in ServiceNow.

Group Membership in both the Network and Hardware groups.

E. Create User Account ✅

Every user needs an account in ServiceNow before they can be assigned work.

C. Add User Account to Network Group ✅

Membership in the Network group allows the user to be assigned Network-related tasks.

F. Add User Account to Hardware Group ✅

Membership in the Hardware group allows the user to work on Hardware-related tasks.

A. Add User Account to itil group ❌

While the itil role grants access to ITSM functions, it does not automatically provide assignment rights to the Network and Hardware groups.

B. Add User Account to ACL ❌

Access Control Lists (ACLs) define permissions, but group membership is required to receive assignments.

D. Add User Account to IT Knowledgebase ❌

The IT Knowledge Base only grants knowledge article access, not task assignments.

In ServiceNow, a filter condition is used to query data from tables. It consists of three main components:

1. Column (Field)✅ Represents the database column (or field) that is being filtered.

Example: Priority, State, Assigned To

In ServiceNow UI, this appears as the first dropdown in a filter condition.

2. Operator✅ Defines the comparison condition for the filter.

Examples: is, is not, greater than, contains, starts with

In ServiceNow UI, this appears as the middle dropdown in a filter condition.

3. Value✅ Specifies the criteria being matched against the column.

Example: High, Closed, John Doe

In ServiceNow UI, this is the third input field in a filter condition.

Example of a Filter Condition in ServiceNow UI:Column (Field)

Operator

Value

Priority

is

High

State

is not

Resolved

This filter will return records where:

The Priority field is set to High

The State field is NOT Resolved

B. Match Criteria❌ Incorrect – No such term exists in ServiceNow filters.

C. Field❌ Incorrect – "Field" is another word for "Column", but "Column" is the correct term in ServiceNow filter conditions.

In ServiceNow, impersonating a user allows administrators or authorized users to temporarily assume another user’s identity. This is useful for troubleshooting, testing permissions, and verifying user experiences.

admin (A) ✅

Users with the admin role automatically have impersonation privileges.

Admin users can impersonate any user in the system.

Example: A system admin impersonates a Service Desk Agent to test access restrictions.

impersonator (E) ✅

The impersonator role allows a user to impersonate others without full admin privileges.

This role is useful for support teams or testers who need to verify user permissions.

Example: A QA tester is given the impersonator role to test different roles in the system.

B. sys_admin ❌

No such role as sys_admin in ServiceNow—this is likely a mistyped version of "admin".

C. security_admin ❌

security_admin is used for elevating privileges to modify high-security settings, not for impersonation.

D. sys_user ❌

The sys_user table stores user records but is not a role.

Regular users cannot impersonate others unless they have the impersonator or admin role.

Why Other Answers Are Incorrect:References from Certified System Administrator (CSA) Official Documentation:

When an item is ordered from the Service Catalog, two main records are created in ServiceNow:

sc_req_item (Requested Item - RITM) ✅

Represents each individual item in the order.

Tracks the approval process, fulfillment, and delivery for that specific item.

sc_task (Service Catalog Task - SCTASK) ✅

Used to assign work to different fulfillment teams (e.g., IT, HR).

A single sc_req_item may generate multiple sc_task records.

A user orders a MacBook Pro from the Service Catalog.

A Request (REQ#) is created.

A Requested Item (RITM#) is generated to track the MacBook order.

One or more Service Catalog Tasks (SCTASK#) are created for fulfillment (e.g., Procurement, Shipping).

C. A change record ❌

Change records (chg_request) are created only if the catalog item is linked to Change Management, which is not always the case.

D. An Incident record ❌

Incidents (incident) are created for issues or break/fix cases, not for service requests.

E. A problem record ❌

Problem records (problem) are used for root cause analysis, not service catalog requests.

In ServiceNow, UI Actions are customizable elements that enhance user interaction with forms, lists, and other UI components. When applied to forms, UI Actions allow users to trigger workflows, scripts, or system operations efficiently.

A. Form Context Menu ✅

The Form Context Menu (accessible by right-clicking on a form header or field) contains UI Actions such as:

Save, Insert, Insert and Stay, Configure Form Layout, etc.

Admins can customize this menu to include additional actions.

C. Form Buttons ✅

Buttons appear at the top or bottom of a form, allowing users to take specific actions.

Examples include:

Submit, Update, Resolve, Approve, Reject

These actions can be customized using UI Action scripting.

D. Form Links ✅

Form Links appear as clickable links at the bottom of a form.

Example:

“Show Related Incidents” link on an incident form.

These links allow users to navigate quickly between related records.

B. Form View ❌

Form View is a layout configuration that determines how fields appear but is not a UI Action.

UI Actions trigger actions, while Form Views define appearance.

E. Form Columns ❌

Form Columns refer to the arrangement of fields within a form.

Columns help with form design but do not serve as UI Actions.

Correct Answers Explanation:Incorrect Answer Choices Explanation:References:

In ServiceNow, UI Policies allow administrators to dynamically control form fields based on conditions without using scripts. With UI Policies, you can change the behavior of a field by making it:

Read-only → The user can view the field but cannot edit it.

Mandatory → The field becomes required, and the user must fill it out before submitting the form.

Hidden → The field is removed from visibility on the form.

Explanation of Each Option:✅ A. Read-only – Correct

A UI Policy can make a field read-only, meaning users can see the field but cannot modify its value.

Example: A field like Request Number (REQ0001) is typically read-only after submission.

❌ B. Write-only – Incorrect

ServiceNow does not have a "write-only" field setting in UI Policies.

If a field is editable, users can both read and write; if it’s hidden or read-only, writing is not possible.

❌ C. Necessary – Incorrect

There is no "Necessary" field state in ServiceNow UI Policies.

If the intent is to make a field required, the correct term is "Mandatory".

✅ D. Mandatory – Correct

UI Policies can make a field mandatory, requiring the user to enter a value before submitting the form.

Example: An Incident Description field might be mandatory before an incident is submitted.

❌ E. Empty – Incorrect

UI Policies cannot directly enforce an "empty" state. However, a default value could be cleared using a client script, but this is not a UI Policy feature.

✅ F. Hidden – Correct

UI Policies can hide a field, making it invisible on the form.

Example: A "Manager Approval" field may be hidden until a certain condition (e.g., request cost > $1000) is met.

Final Answer:✅ Read-only✅ Mandatory✅ Hidden

The Application Navigator (App Navigator) search field in ServiceNow allows users to quickly find applications, modules, and favorites by typing relevant keywords. It helps in easy navigation by filtering available options as the user types.

The four correct answers describe what the App Navigator search field can return:

The search field can return both applications and their respective modules in the left navigation panel.

Example: Searching for "Incident" will return:

Application: "Incident"

Modules: "All", "Open", "Resolved", "Create New"

Modules are specific functionalities within an application.

Searching by a module name directly will display results that match the keyword.

Example: Searching for "Create New" will return modules like:

"Create New Incident"

"Create New Change Request"

The search field supports finding full applications by their name.

Example: Typing "Change" will display the Change Management application and its related modules.

If a user has marked specific modules or applications as Favorites, they will appear in search results.

This helps users quickly access commonly used features.

1. Names of Applications and Modules (✅ Correct)2. Names of Modules (✅ Correct)3. Names of Applications (✅ Correct)4. Favorites (✅ Correct)

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:❌ E. History Records (Incorrect)

The History tab in the navigation panel shows recently accessed records, but it is not searchable through the App Navigator.

Instead, users can find history under:

History Module (System Settings > History)

Recent History Tab in the left navigation

❌ F. Titles of Dashboard Gauges (Incorrect)

Dashboard Gauges are visual elements on Performance Analytics or Reporting Dashboards and are not searchable in the App Navigator.

Instead, dashboards and reports are found under:

Self-Service > Dashboards

Performance Analytics > Dashboards

A ServiceNow user wants to quickly access the "All Incidents" module.

They type "incident" into the App Navigator search.

The search results return:

Incident (Application)

All (Module)

Assigned to Me (Module)

Resolved (Module)

The six methods available for user authentication in ServiceNow are:

Local Database – The user authenticates using a username and password stored in the instance database.

Multifactor Authentication (MFA) – The user provides their username, password, and a passcode (e.g., from Google Authenticator).

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) – The user authenticates using credentials stored in a corporate LDAP directory.

SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) – The user is authenticated via an external SAML Identity Provider (IdP).

OAuth 2.0 – The user authenticates via an OAuth identity provider (such as Google, Microsoft, or Facebook).

Digest Token Authentication – The user authenticates using an encrypted token rather than directly submitting a password.

Thus, the correct answer is:✅ A, B, C, D, E, F

ServiceNow supports multiple authentication methods to provide flexibility, security, and integration capabilities with external identity providers.

Local Database Authentication:

ServiceNow stores usernames and passwords in the internal database.

Users authenticate directly with the instance.

This method is commonly used when no external authentication provider is configured.

Multifactor Authentication (MFA):

Enhances security by requiring two authentication factors:

Username and password (stored in the database).

Passcode from a registered device (such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator).

MFA helps prevent unauthorized access even if credentials are compromised.

LDAP Authentication:

Allows users to authenticate against an external LDAP directory (such as Microsoft Active Directory).

The user must have a matching record in the ServiceNow user table ([sys_user]).

ServiceNow does not store passwords when using LDAP; it only validates credentials against the directory.

SAML 2.0 Authentication:

Users authenticate via a SAML Identity Provider (IdP) such as Okta, Microsoft Azure AD, or Ping Identity.

ServiceNow acts as a Service Provider (SP) and does not store passwords.

Provides Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities.

OAuth 2.0 Authentication:

Allows authentication via OAuth providers (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc.).

Users do not need to store passwords in ServiceNow; instead, authentication is delegated to the OAuth identity provider.

Digest Token Authentication:

Uses an encrypted token (instead of a plaintext password) to authenticate users.

Often used for API-based authentication or scenarios where passwords should not be transmitted over the network.

Each method aligns with ServiceNow's authentication mechanisms as per official documentation.

ServiceNow supports a hybrid authentication approach, allowing multiple methods to coexist.

ServiceNow Docs – Authentication Methodshttps://docs.servicenow.com

ServiceNow Security Best Practices – Authentication & Access Controls

ServiceNow Developer Portal – SSO & OAuth Authentication

Why These Are the Correct Methods?References from Certified System Administrator (CSA) Documentation:

ServiceNow supports multiple authentication methods to verify user identities before granting access to an instance. The three valid authentication methods from the given options are:

Local Database Authentication

This is the default authentication method used in ServiceNow.

User credentials (username and password) are stored in the ServiceNow database.

Authentication is handled directly by ServiceNow without relying on external identity providers.

This is useful for small implementations or instances where external authentication is not required.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)

LDAP allows ServiceNow to integrate with corporate directory services, such as Microsoft Active Directory, to authenticate users.

Users authenticate using their corporate credentials, reducing the need to maintain separate user accounts in ServiceNow.

ServiceNow connects to an LDAP server and verifies credentials without storing passwords in the ServiceNow database.

SSO (Single Sign-On)

Single Sign-On enables users to log into ServiceNow using an external identity provider (IdP).

ServiceNow supports various SSO protocols, including:

SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language)

OAuth 2.0

OpenID Connect

Kerberos

This allows users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications, improving security and user experience.

A. XML feed –

XML feeds are used for data exchange, not authentication.

ServiceNow can consume XML feeds for integrations but does not use XML feeds to authenticate users.

E. FTP authentication –

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files between systems and is not a valid authentication method in ServiceNow.

ServiceNow Docs: User Authentication Methodshttps://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/utah-platform-administration/page/administer/security/concept/user-authentication-methods.html

ServiceNow CSA Official Training Guide (User Authentication & Security)

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect?References from Certified System Administrator (CSA) Documentation:These references confirm that Local Database, LDAP, and SSO are valid authentication methods in ServiceNow.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) Integration in ServiceNow enables organizations to connect their corporate directory services (such as Microsoft Active Directory) with their ServiceNow instance. This integration helps manage user authentication and data synchronization efficiently.

There are two key aspects of LDAP Integration in ServiceNow:

Authentication

LDAP is commonly used for user authentication, allowing users to log in to ServiceNow using their corporate credentials.

Instead of storing passwords in ServiceNow, authentication requests are sent to the LDAP server to verify the user's identity.

This helps in maintaining centralized identity management across the organization.

Data Population

LDAP can be used to import user and group information into ServiceNow.

This process is known as data synchronization, where attributes such as usernames, email addresses, department details, roles, and group memberships are pulled from LDAP and stored in ServiceNow.

This ensures that user information in ServiceNow is always up-to-date with the organization's directory.

B. Data Formatting –

While ServiceNow does process data from LDAP, "Data Formatting" is not an aspect of LDAP integration.

Formatting refers to structuring or modifying data but is not a core function of LDAP integration.

C. Authorization –

Authorization determines what a user can do after authentication, such as assigning roles and permissions.

While ServiceNow can use LDAP groups to assign roles, the integration itself focuses on Authentication and Data Population rather than defining permissions within ServiceNow.

ServiceNow Docs: LDAP Integration Overviewhttps://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/utah-platform-administration/page/integrate/authentication/concept/c_LDAPIntegration.html

In ServiceNow, the best practice for managing users, groups, and roles is based on role-based access control (RBAC).

Assign Roles to Groups (Correct ✅)

Instead of assigning roles directly to users, it is a best practice to assign roles to groups.

This ensures better role management, easier administration, and scalability.

Example:

The "IT Support" group has the "itil" role.

All users in this group automatically get the itil role.

Add Users to Groups (Correct ✅)

Users should be assigned to groups rather than roles directly.

Groups inherit roles, so when a user is added to a group, they automatically receive the appropriate access.

Example:

A new Service Desk agent joins the "Service Desk" group and immediately gets the associated roles (itil, incident_manager, etc.).

A. You should never assign roles to groups ❌ (Incorrect)

Incorrect: Assigning roles to groups is the recommended best practice.

Managing roles at the group level makes access control more efficient and scalable.

B. You should assign roles to users ❌ (Incorrect)

Incorrect: Assigning roles directly to users is not a best practice because it becomes difficult to manage as the organization grows.

Instead, users should be added to groups that have the necessary roles.

A filter condition in ServiceNow consists of three essential components that define how data is filtered in lists, reports, and queries. These components determine which records meet specific criteria.

Column (D) – Represents the field in the table that is being filtered (e.g., "Priority" in the incident table).

Operator (A) – Defines the comparison method, such as is, contains, starts with, greater than, etc.

Value (C) – Specifies the criteria used for filtering (e.g., "High" for Priority).

Components of a Filter Condition:Example of a Filter Condition in an Incident Table:Priority is High

Column: Priority

Operator: is

Value: High

B. Match Criteria → Not a defined component; filtering is based on column, operator, and value.

E. Field → While "Field" is a general term, ServiceNow officially uses "Column" in filter conditions.
