Rolescan contain other roles(known asnested roles).

When a user is assigned aparent role, theyinherit all child roleswithin it.

Example:

TheITIL roleincludesincident_managerandproblem_managerroles.

AssigningITILto a userautomatically grants them all the permissions of the included roles.

Roles Are Assigned by Administrators

Typically, roles are assigned by aSystem Administratoror an authorized user.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

ServiceNow usesRBACto control access to applications, records, and actions.

B. Users can click on the Personalize Role feature to try different roles

Incorrectbecause userscannot manually switch rolesunless they have theimpersonation privilege.

C. A role is granted to a user by the System Administrator

Partially correct, butnot the best answerbecause rolescan also be assigned via groupsor automated processes, not just by a System Administrator.

D. Each user has a role in the ServiceNow platform

Incorrectbecause not all usersmust have a role.
