GRC Feature roles are specialized roles that grant access to capabilities of specific GRC features or application areas.

## GRC Feature roles plugin {#grc-feature-roles-common-core__section_hrk_g2z_ngc}

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-feature-roles-common-core__section_yj5_nfz_ngc}

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.  
Non-IRM users can perform the following actions when assigned appropriate feature roles:

* 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.
  {#grc-feature-roles-common-core__ul_v1p_bgz_ngc}
* Policy feature set
  * Create and manage policies and the policy lifecycle.
  * Create policy acknowledgments and policy exceptions.
  {#grc-feature-roles-common-core__ul_dqj_dgz_ngc}
* Audit feature setCreate and manage engagements, activities, and scoping entities within those engagements. This role also provides access to a lite version of audit workspace.

* Evidence feature setCreate and manage evidence requests, collection details, and evidence responses.

Wichtig:  
GRC Feature roles uses the functional domain field on the individual record to identify the type of the record. Access to the record is restricted based on the functional domain enabling the required access to users who need it. For more information about functional domains, see [Tagging records with functional domain](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MLs9tpiI94xQ0OvxQSXCPQ "Functional domain tagging is a mechanism that allows you to classify risk records based on the specific business function, process, or use case they support. A functional domain represents a logical grouping, such as Cybersecurity and risk, IT risk and compliance, Compliance, Third-Party Risk, or Operational Risk.").
