* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read

From a remediation task (VUL, AVUL, CVUL, or CRG), create a change request. Alternatively, add a remediation task to an existing change request.

## Before you begin

Role required:

* sn_vul.remediation_owner for host vulnerable items (VITs)
* sn_vul.app_security_champion for application vulnerable items (AVITs)
* sn_vul_container.remediation_owner for container vulnerable items (CVITs)
* sn_vulc.remediation_owner for configuration test results (CTRs)
{#vr-ws-CRs__ul_c3c_4vb_dbc}  
Note:  
The itli role is required if you want to submit change requests from the IT Remediation Workspace.

## About this task

There might be various reasons that you want to create a change request for a remediation task. Usually, it is because your investigation requires manual intervention to fix the vulnerabilities.

For more information about the change requests and creating change requests from the classic environment, see [Change management for Vulnerability Response](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rJLLQMfetmDSSTGbuH_CNw "As an IT remediation owner, you can create and manage change requests (CHG) directly from remediation tasks (RT) in the Vulnerability Response application. Change requests help you initiate and track change activities on your assets so that you can remediate your remediation tasks and their corresponding vulnerable items.").  
Note:  
Starting with v19.0 of Vulnerability Response, the following terms have been renamed:{#vr-ws-CRs__context_tpz_sqf_yxb__entry__2}

| Terminology prior to v19.0 | Terminology v19.0 onwards |
|-|-|
| Test Result Groups | Remediation Tasks |
| Configuration Issues | Configuration Test Results |
| Policy | Test group |
[Table 1. Changes in terminology]

       Alternatively, in the classic environment, navigate to Self-serviceMy Requests. After you submit the change and it is implemented, if state synchronization is enabled, the remediation task automatically moves to Resolved. For more information about
       states and state synchronization in change requests, see [Create a change request from a remediation task](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OjuoB~sGWt5dy~mepam6RQ "As an IT remediation owner, create a change request (CHG) directly from a remediation task (VUL) for all the vulnerable items in the group. Create a change request with pre-populated information that includes the preferred solution to expedite your investigation for vulnerabilities that require manual intervention.").
