The security_admin role is an elevated privilege role provided with High Security
Settings that lets users create and change access controls and change High Security
Settings.

In the base system, only the default System Administrator (admin) user has the security_admin
role. Since it requires elevating privileges, the admin user does not have this role at login.
After elevating privileges, the admin user has the security_admin role for the duration of the
user session. See [Elevate to a privileged role](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/QSMW4UNBg6bevZDKAPGT2Q "The base system admin can elevate to a privileged role to have access to the features of High Security Settings.") for more
information.

To maintain high security, the security_admin role requires elevating privileges. Limit the
users and groups to which you assign this role.
