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

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. |
