The ODBC driver communicates with your ServiceNow instance as a specific
user. Create an ODBC user account and assign the odbc role to enable the user to communicate
via ODBC.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

The odbc role contains various additional roles, including the soap_query role required to make ODBC requests and the itil role required to access core tables such as the incident table. You can modify the odbc role to allow access to other tables as needed by adding additional child roles.

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllUser AdministrationUsers.
2. Click New.
3. In the User ID field, enter <kbd class="ph userinput">odbc.user</kbd>.
4. Enter a Password for this user.
5. From the form context menu, select Save.
6. In the Roles related list, click Edit.
7. Use the slushbucket to add the odbc role, and then click Save.
8. Click Submit.
