Which mechanism controls access to application menus and modules in ServiceNow?

• A. Roles
• B. Profiles
• C. Permissions
• D. Licenses

Answer: (A)

Roles control access to application menus and modules. Each menu item and module in ServiceNow can specify the roles required to view or open it. When a user logs in, the system checks their assigned roles against these requirements and shows or hides items in the Application Navigator accordingly. This is how navigation is restricted on a per-user basis, independent of data-level permissions (ACLs) or licensing. Profiles and licenses aren’t the mechanism used to govern which menus or modules appear, and permissions mainly govern data access rather than navigation visibility.
