GRC Feature roles
GRC Feature roles are specialized roles that grant access to capabilities of specific GRC features or application areas.
GRC Feature roles plugin
Download and install the GRC Feature roles plugin (sn_grc_ftr_role) from the ServiceNow Store to granular obtain access to individual IRM features. GRC Feature roles provide access to individual Integrated Risk Management (IRM) capabilities, instead of granting access to the entire IRM feature set. This approach enables users for granular access to specific functionalities, such as Compliance Library, Policy Management, and Control Attestations and Monitoring. It also enables precise control over what is shared with non-IRM products.
Feature sets
GRC features are logically grouped into feature sets. Feature roles are associated with a specific feature set and provide access to the features available in that feature set.
- Library and Control feature set
- Create and manage library objects such as authority documents, citations, and control objectives.
- Associate entity and entity types to control objectives and generate controls.
- Manage control workflows, monitor controls effectively using attestations and indicators, and generate issues.
- Policy feature set
- Create and manage policies and the policy lifecycle.
- Create policy acknowledgments and policy exceptions.
- Audit feature set
Create and manage engagements, activities, and scoping entities within those engagements. This role also provides access to a lite version of audit workspace.
- Evidence feature set
Create and manage evidence requests, collection details, and evidence responses.
