Role required: admin
Procedure
-
Navigate to All > User Administration > Roles and review the roles installed with the NIST CSF application.
These roles contain nist_csf in their names; for example, sn_irm_nist_csf.security_officer. The roles are associated with NIST CSF application modules to provide access based on the user's role.
Note: The basic NIST CSF user role is needed to access the application. This role contains the reader or user roles from the ServiceNow® GRC suite of applications.
-
In the Application Navigator, type NIST CSF, and verify the application core content.
