The Email Service API provides endpoint to install the Email API on the instance.{#email-service__release-notes-feature-description}  
By default, Email Service only allows admin users to access the [Email API](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=email-api&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US). Administrators can [grant access to the Email API](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/kyGTD5SdcxVGH9doWZ1W6Q "To grant non-admin users access to the Email API, administrators must create an access control and assign a special role.") by:

1. Adding an access control for creating records in the Email \[sys_email\] table linked to the email_api_send role.
2. Assigning the email_api_send role to the non-admin user.
3. Verifying the non-admin user has read access to the notification target table. For example, an email notification for an incident, requires read access to the Incident table.

Non-admin users with the email_api_send role can access the Email API from the [REST API Explorer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=use-REST-API-Explorer&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US).{#email-service__email-service-additional-requirements-2}
