Description

Contains roles

Major incident manager[mim_manager]

A major incident manager can:- Initiate the major incident process by assessing and approving major incident candidates or creating a major incident.

  • Reject a major incident candidate.
  • Demote a major incident after it is accepted so that the incident can be handled as a regular incident.
  • Maintain the ownership and accountability for the life cycle of the incident.
  • Identify the users and groups to be involved in the resolution activities.
  • Create ad hoc communication plans and tasks.
  • Edit a communication plan that is attached to a major incident.
  • Close a major incident.
  • sn_comm_management.comm_plan_viewer
  • sn_comm_management.comm_plan_manager
  • ia_admin
  • sn_incident_write
  • sn_problem_write
  • sn_change_write
  • sn_request_write
  • itil

Note: Starting with Brazil, for zBoot instances, the major incident manager [major_incident_manager] role no longer inherits the itil role. Instead, it inherits the sn_incident_write, sn_problem_write, sn_change_write, and sn_request_write granular roles from the ITSM Roles plugin (com.snc.itsm.roles).

For upgraded instances, the itil role remains inherited. Additionally, the sn_incident_write, sn_problem_write, sn_change_write, and sn_request_write granular roles are added if the ITSM Roles plugin (com.snc.itsm.roles) is installed.
